Kara Kennedy Dies

Kara Kennedy Allen, died Friday night at a health club in Washington, D.C.

Kennedy Allen, 51, had just taken a swim in the club, according to multiple people on close terms with the Kennedy family, who said she was found in the steam room by another gym member.

The Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police received a call shortly after 6 p.m. Friday night. Kennedy Allen had been working out at the Tenley Sport Health Club, about a mile from her home in northwest Washington. Police spokesman Hugh Carew said she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The cause of death is pending and the autopsy is being conducted by the chief medical examiner in D.C.
Kennedy Allen had undergone surgery for lung cancer in 2003 and was reportedly in remission.

 Patrick Kennedy said:

It’s a devastating loss, Right now we’re all about her kids, Maxie and Gracie. She was all about her kids, my sister,

It’s just such a shock because she was in such good health,” Joan Kennedy said. “She swam, I don’t know how many miles. She was in wonderful health.”

Kennedy Allen was the mother of two teenagers, and had been married to Michael Allen, a professional sailor. She and Allen had separated. Their daughter, Grace, turns 17 on Monday; their son, Max, is 14.

Hearts and prayers to the Kennedy and Allen Family.
