Joan Kennedy hospitalized with broken bones

By Jay Lindsay, Associated Press Writer | March 30, 2005

BOSTON -- Joan Kennedy, the former wife of U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, was hospitalized with a concussion and a broken shoulder after a passer-by found her lying in a Boston street, according to her son.

Kennedy, 68, was taken to Tufts New England Medical Center around 3 a.m. on Tuesday, said U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I. She was later transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital, where she was recovering on Wednesday.

"We're indebted to some anonymous pedestrian who found her and picked her up and got her help," Patrick Kennedy told the Boston Herald. "I'm enormously grateful for whoever it is out there who did that. She wouldn't be here in this hospital, recuperating, if that person hadn't called and gotten someone to come."

A close friend and neighbor, Stephanie Warburg of Boston, said Wednesday that Joan Kennedy called her from the hospital and told she'd hurt her shoulder and elbow.

"She's just a lovely, decent person and everyone adores her," said Warburg, who said she's known Kennedy for 25 years. "All of us just feel badly."

Details of what happened were unclear and there was no police report on the incident. Joan Kennedy, who splits time between a home on Cape Cod and a Boston condominium, has struggled with alcoholism. She spent time in a number of rehabilitation programs following a series of arrests for drunken driving.

Sen. Kennedy said Wednesday that he's proud of his children for their loyalty to his ex-wife.

"This has been a sad time," he said. "We're hoping for the best."

The couple had three children together -- Kara Kennedy Allen, 45, Edward M. Kennedy, Jr., 44, and Patrick Kennedy, 37 -- before divorcing in 1982.

The three children recently took temporary guardianship of their mother to ensure she receives treatment for her alcoholism. Patrick Kennedy is seeking to become her permanent legal guardian.

They had the following children:

  F i Kara KENNEDY was born on 27 Feb 1960.
  M ii Edward KENNEDY Jr. was born on 26 Sep 1961.
  M iii Patrick Joseph KENNEDY was born on 14 Jul 1967 in Brighton, Mass.
