Tatiana Schlossberg, journalist and JFK’s granddaughter, dead at 35
Schlossberg, who wrote about her battle with cancer, was critical of her relative Robert F Kennedy Jnr, the US health secretary
American environmental journalist Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of late president John F. Kennedy, has died from cancer at the age of 35, her family announced on Tuesday.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” the family wrote in a statement posted on the JFK Library Foundation’s Instagram account.
Doctors were first alerted to the condition – mostly seen in older patients and among first responders to the September 11 attacks in New York – after detecting an unusually high white blood cell count following the birth of her second child in May 2024.
“During the latest clinical trial, my doctor told me that he could keep me alive for a year, maybe,” she wrote. “My first thought was that my kids, whose faces live permanently on the inside of my eyelids, wouldn’t remember me.”
