The granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, died on Tuesday following a November disclosure of a uncommon blood cancer diagnosis.
Family and Institution Confirm the Passing
Her passing was announced in a social media post from the Kennedy Presidential Library.
“Tatiana passed away this morning. She will forever remain in our hearts.”
Understanding the Condition
In a personal essay this past fall, she disclosed that she had been diagnosed with AML, a form of leukemia with a specific genetic mutation.
This form of cancer is a malignancy that originates in the body's blood-forming tissues.
The family asks for privacy during this time as they grieve.
