Mary Kennedy pleaded with hubby RFK Jr. for help day before suicide

New York, August 9 (ANI): Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently blew off his suicidal wife Mary Richardson Kennedy when she pleaded with him to "take care of her" just one day before she committed suicide.

Robert told his wife's Bedford caretaker that he could not do more to save his estranged wife because "she doesn't want to help herself," the caretaker told cops who probed Mary's death.

The seemingly cold words have been excerpted from Bedford Police's investigative records and include a one-sided account from RFK Jr. about his last conversation with his wife.

"She told me she was sorry for everything," the New York Daily News quoted him as telling the police.

"She said I was right about everything, and everything was her fault. She then told me she needed me to take care of her," he said.

Mary, a 52-year-old mother of four who had battled drug and alcohol addiction for many years, was in a despondent state over her impending divorce from RFK Jr. when she hanged herself.

The papers do not reveal what Robert told her, but they suggest he allegedly turned down another plea to aid his wife from the unnamed caretaker.

She told the police that Mary had stopped going to the gym in the mornings and was "staying in bed by herself."

Mary "asked me to pray for her, because she got more bad news from her lawyer," the caretaker had said.

Worried, the caretaker told the police that she had even contacted Robert.

"I noticed some changes in Mary," she said.

"I thought something was wrong with her. I told Bobby about her, and I told him that she needs help," the caretaker said.

Mary was found dead May 16 in the barn of her Westchester County spread.

Bobby Kennedy is currently dating "Curb Your Enthusiasm" actress Cheryl Hines and was recently photographed with her on Cape Cod. (ANI)
