    After reading this article, I would stay as far away from the Kennedys as possible.

    But it got me thinking, is there a family out there more snake bit than the Kennedy's???

    JFK
    RFK
    Mary Jo Kopechne (Ted Kennedy DUI)
    JFK Jr.

    (I know there are more ...someone please name the rest)


    Here is the only other families I can think of:

    The Hart Family (wrestling)

    Owen Hart (in ring death)
    Davey Boy Smith (suicide)
    Bret Hart (had his career ended by a freak in ring accident)



    Actually, the Von Erichs of wrestling:

    Jack Jr. (electrocuted I believe)
    David (died from some weird infection while on tour)
    Mike (suicide)
    Chris (suicide)
    Kerry (suicide)

    I think Kevin Von Erich is the only son left now.

    Wasn't one of RFK's sons killed while playing football on a ski slope? Also, a cousin killed a girl when he was a teenager, right?

    Yeah, I think it was Michael Skakel, but I am not sure what relation he was to the main Kennedy family.
