(AP) ? Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s family says his estranged wife inspired them with "her kindness, her love, her gentle soul and generous spirit."

Mary Richardson Kennedy, who had fought drug and alcohol problems, was found dead in her home Wednesday.

In a statement issued by Robert Kennedy Jr.'s chief of staff, the family described Mary Kennedy as "a genius at friendship."

Westchester county executive's office spokesman Ned McCormack says the medical examiner has taken her body to an office in nearby Valhalla. He says he can't say anything about the cause of death until the autopsy.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a prominent environmental lawyer and the son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. Mary Kennedy was his second wife. They had four children together.
