The Life and Times of JFK, Jr.
July 16 marks the anniversary of Kennedy's tragic plane crash
by Beth Rowen
John F. Kennedy, Jr., and his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, died in a small plane on July 16, 1999.
July 16 marks the anniversary of the death of John F. Kennedy, Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and Carolyn's sister, Lauren, who perished on their way to Martha's Vineyard, when their plane, piloted by Kennedy, crashed.
The National Transportation Safety Board, after a lengthy investigation, concluded that Kennedy suffered from spatial disorientation, a condition that arises from a loss of balance in the inner ear and causes confusion. Kennedy's problems were exacerbated by the hazy night sky and his inability to see the horizon. The NTSB also said investigators did not find any mechanical problems with Kennedy's plane, a Piper Saratoga II.
In death, Kennedy was the subject of the same media frenzy that chronicled his every public move and speculated on his private affairs as well. Television networks preempted regularly scheduled programs to cover the search for remains and the wreckage of Kennedy's aircraft, which Kennedy purchased in April.
First Infant in the White House
Kennedy was born on November 25, 1960, only weeks after his father was elected president. He was the first child born to a president-elect and the first infant to live in the White House since the Cleveland administration. Three years later, the world watched as the three year-old, on his birthday, saluted his father's casket as it passed by. Two weeks after the funeral, his mother, Jacqueline Kennedy, moved John, Jr., and his sister, Caroline, out of the White House to Manhattan, where she made every attempt to raise her children as normally as possible, out of the public eye. "Unless he's allowed freedom," his mother said, "he'll be a vegetable."
Influence of Jacqueline Kennedy
With all her influence and grace, Jacqueline Kennedy could not tame the media. Nevertheless, she did succeed in raising two children that matured into compassionate, responsible, independent adults. Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg has maintained a much more private life. Rich, handsome, polite, and charismatic, John Jr., was too much for the media to resist.
Prestigious Schools, Failed Hopes
Kennedy attended Manhattan's Collegiate School for Boys and graduated from the elite Phillips Academy in Andover. Unlike many of the Kennedy men who attended Harvard, John went to Brown University, graduating in 1983. After flirting with an acting career, John enrolled in New York University's Law School, a move many now say was motivated by his mother's wishes. He failed the bar twice, prompting tabloids to call him the "hunk who flunked."
"Sexiest Man Alive"
In 1988, People magazine dubbed him the "Sexiest Man Alive." When he introduced his uncle, presidential hopeful Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, at the 1988 Democratic National Convention, pundits speculated that John, Jr., was readying himself for a run for office. Instead, he went to work as a prosecutor for the Manhattan District Attorney. After amassing an impressive 6–0 record from 1989 to 1993, he resigned.
Publishing, Not Politics
While never outright ruling out a run for political office, Kennedy told Vogue magazine, "I frankly feel there are many opportunities and avenues outside of elective office to become involved in issues, issues that have the same broad scope that government or elected office provides you."
The avenue Kennedy chose was publishing. In 1995 he launched George magazine, a glossy, non-partisan political journal subtitled "not just politics as usual." In addition to his duties as editor, he wrote essays and conducted interviews, which included discussions with Mike Tyson and Fidel Castro. In a 1997 essay, Kennedy called his cousins Michael and Joseph, who suffered personal embarrassments in the public eye, "poster boys for bad behavior."
While he led a life under intense media scrutiny, Kennedy did not give the press much fodder. Aside from a few public spats with his wife, Carolyn, a former Calvin Klein executive, Kennedy kept an essentially low profile. A passionate philanthropist, Kennedy volunteered with several nonprofits and sat on the boards of several family foundations. He was often seen inline skating around his TriBeCa neighborhood, jogging in Central Park, or out and about in Hyannis Port, where the Kennedy family gathers in the summer.
DANVILLE — For nearly a month, classmates suspected that San Ramon Valley High School freshman Benjamin Curry killed himself, opinions shared by local media. But an autopsy report, obtained exclusively by this news agency Tuesday, determined that the teenager died of an accidental drowning while attending swim class.
Now the question is how it could have happened.
Video of the pool area as class ended showed the 15-year-old Danville resident going under the water, and other students swimming to the edge of the pool and getting out and leaving the facility, according to the autopsy report. It wasn’t until an hour later, when a new swim class entered the area, that Curry’s body was spotted at the bottom of the pool.
The fact that the school did not act strongly to counteract the rumors that their son committed suicide led Curry’s family to hire attorney Andy Schwartz. The district, he says, let the incorrect story of a suicide swirl for weeks despite the immediate knowledge of surveillance footage capturing the accident and the context of Curry participating in his normally scheduled swim class when the accident happened.
“Class was dismissed without him and the teacher in charge of the class left Benjamin behind. The school knew that and didn’t make the effort to correct the false narrative that they knew was out there,” said Schwartz, adding that Curry knew how to swim. “He was found in his bathing suit. He went swimming. He didn’t commit suicide.”
San Ramon Valley Unified School District spokeswoman Elizabeth Graswich said they could not comment on an active police investigation and directed questions to Danville police or coroner officials.
“Our thoughts continue to be with the student’s family and loved ones, as well as our students and staff,” she said.
The 16-page Contra Costa County Coroner’s Office autopsy and toxicology report provides the clearest picture yet of what happened that May 8 afternoon on the Danville campus, and it contradicts media reports where students speculated on camera that Curry may have intentionally drowned himself because he had tried to kill himself before.
The freshman, wearing a black swimsuit, as noted by forensic pathologist Dr. Arnold Josselson, attended his normal fourth period physical education swimming class from 11:40 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Danville Police school resource officer Kyle Rhoton told a coroner’s deputy what happened next based on surveillance footage of the pool that he watched just hours after the boy’s death.
Rhoton reported seeing Curry in the pool with “multiple” other students at the end of class around 12:30 p.m.
“He observed the decedent submerge and not surface. It did not appear any other students were involved with the decedent going under water,” the report said. “Due to camera angles, it was unclear if the decedent remained under the surface of the water or if he surfaced in another area of the pool.”
As class ended, other students were seen swimming to the edge of the pool and leaving the pool area, but due to camera angles, it was unclear if Curry left the pool or if he remained in the pool, the coroner’s deputy wrote. The video showed no more activity until 1:40 p.m. when the fifth period swim class arrived after the lunch break, Schwartz said.
About 10 minutes after the start of the swim session, some students observed their classmate underwater and alerted a different P.E. teacher who jumped into the pool and removed Curry with help from students, according to the report.
An excerpt from a Contra Costa County Coroner’s Office autopsy report shows investigators do not believe Benjamin Curry killed himself.
That teacher alerted staff and began CPR. Rhoton was notified via radio at 1:51 p.m., and assisted with life-saving measures until emergency crews arrived, the report said. Curry was taken to Kaiser hospital in Walnut Creek, where he was declared dead.
The toxicology report found “therapeutic levels” of antidepressants and a trace amount of marijuana in Curry’s system, but investigators did not indicate either played any role in his death.
The report also indicated Curry had a history of depression and anxiety, and a family member told investigators he had “suicidal ideations,” but in the end they found no evidence Curry tried to kill himself.
“Although the decedent suffered from depression, there is no indication the decedent intended to drown himself,” the coroner concluded.
“He was a popular young man,” Schwartz said. “You read in media reports that he was bullied, but it doesn’t appear to be the case.”
On the day of the accident, San Ramon Valley High principal Jason Krolikowski told the East Bay Times the public should not speculate about a cause before a thorough investigation could be completed.
“I know there are a lot of rumors and students asking questions,” he said at the time. “It is important that we continue to discourage the spreading of rumors and give Danville police time to complete their investigation.”
In media reports in the days after Curry’s death, classmates speculated that he killed himself due to struggles with mental illness and bullying. Schwartz said that perception has continued over the last month and devastated the family.
“It just adds to their pain,” he said. “It’s your worst nightmare as a parent.”
One student told the East Bay Times that he had seen Curry in the locker right before class started, happy and laughing.
“This is an unspeakable tragedy,” Schwartz said. “He was a wonderful young man.”
