yes and their are different kinds of accidents, btw david kennedy did not drown he died of an overdose, sorry to say, he was rfk and Ethel's 3rd son...the clan had gathered for the week-end, perhaps easter not sure now, he signed in at a motel, when he did not appear Caroline went looking for him and found him dead in his room, another nice shock for the woman...he was the boy that was with rfk and his mom at the ambasador, and was left in the hotel room watching inhouse telly some have said of the assassination happenings, his dad had rescued him that afternoon,i think he was 10ish that day, from the water while they were sailing, he apparently was his dad's shadow, so the books read, he never got over it and turned to drugs, very young.
