Being reported as a seizure now and that the family is "guardedly optimistic". Doesn't sound too serious now.

Whether one agrees with the man and his politics is of no matter. This is sad. Prayers going out to the family as they deal with this.
Thanks for the confirmation CM.

Hasn't this family been tortured enough? Two murders, a plane crash and now this. My heart goes out to them all.

Tragedies just follow the Kennedys. At least senator Kennedy has been able to have a fulfilling life unlike many of his brothers and other family members.

I thought the same exact thing when I saw the news on CNN during lunch. However, this is just as tragic.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Senator Kennedy and the rest of his family.
