From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Michael LeMoyne Kennedy, (born February 27, 1958, died December 31, 1997) was the sixth of eleven children of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy.
Kennedy was married to Victoria Gifford, daughter of Frank Gifford. They have three children: Michael LeMoyne Kennedy Jr., born Jan. 9, 1983, in Charlottesville, Va., Kyle Francis Kennedy, born July 6, 1984, in Washington, D.C., and Rory Gifford Kennedy, born Nov. 14, 1987, in Dorchester, Mass.
Kennedy was the head of his brother Joseph's non-profit organization, Citizen's Energy Corporation. He also helped organize Edward M. Kennedy's re-election campaign in 1994.
In 1997, the news broke that Kennedy was having an affair with the family's former babysitter. Allegedly, the affair had begun years ago when the babysitter was a teenager, and Kennedy was thus placed under investigation for statutory rape. However, the babysitter did not cooperate with prosecuters. Shortly after the scandal began, Kennedy and his wife separated.
Kennedy died later that same year, in 1997, in a skiing accident in Aspen, Colorado. Michael Kennedy was skiing with several other members of the Kennedy family when he hit a tree while they were playing football on skis. Kennedy was not wearing a helmet or other safety equipment. (The accident came just days before Sonny Bono died in a skiing accident on January 5, 1998, in California.)
