Maryland police find body of missing Kennedy child after five-day search of Chesapeake Bay

After a five-day search, Maryland police have found the body of Gideon McKean, an 8-year-old descendant of Robert F. Kennedy who had been missing with his mother, Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean, since last week when their canoe disappeared in the choppy waters of the Chesapeake Bay on April 2. The Maryland Natural Resources Police announced Wednesday that Gideon's body was recovered in 25 feet of water about two miles south of his grandmother’s residence in Shady Side, Md., where the canoe was launched.The child's body was found about 2,000 feet from where the body of his mother, a granddaughter of RFK, was located on Monday. The search for the two had been carried out by multiple agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard and involved aviation and underwater imaging sonar technology.The mother and son were reported missing after McKean, 40, and Gideon launched the canoe to retrieve a missing ball. Police believe strong winds and heavy seas prevented the pair from paddling back to shore. After a rescue search, the overturned canoe that mother and son were in was found Friday.
