She was 35.
She was a mom to two young children. She was married to a urologist. She was an environmental journalist who wrote for The New York Times and wrote for the New Yorker about the terminal cancer diagnosis that stole her life. She was a member of America's most storied political family, an heir to President John F. Kennedy.
The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation announced the death of Tatiana Schlossberg – the middle child of Caroline Kennedy – on Dec. 30. The cause was acute myeloid leukemia, a rare cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
The tragic circumstances of her death didn't stop her from becoming tabloid fodder.
The New York Post published photos of her brother Jack Schlossberg, the offbeat leftist influencer and New York congressional candidate, hours after her death was made public. He was pushing her son in a stroller. The outlet parroted the "Kennedy curse" conspiracy when her diagnosis was made public.
