Maryland police have found the body of Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean, the granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy

It is from this residence that authorities believe McKean, 40, had launched the canoe to retrieve a missing ball with her eight-year-old son, Gideon. Police believe, strong winds and heavy seas prevented the pair from paddling back to shore. After a rescue search, the overturned canoe that the duo were in was found Friday.that the 26-hour search that covered more than 3,600 square miles of air, sea and land would be suspended.

David McKean detailed on a Facebook post Friday what he has"come to understand" about the tragedy that befell his wife, who served as the executive director of the Georgetown University Global Health Initiative. Together the couple shared Gideon, 8, along with daughter Gabriella, 7, and son Toby, 2.

Sad and even sadder that this tragedy could have been prevented if they had been wearing the proper safety gear. Prayers to the family.
