Mary Jo Kopechne
Mary Jo Kopechne worked with Ted Kennedy in 1968 during his presidential campaign. Mary Jo died at the Chappaquiddick accident about 40 years ago and it affected Ted until the day he died.

Mary Jo Kopechne died in a very tragic way. After a party Ted Kennedy offered to drive her home however when passing through a narrow bridge the car fell in the water and Mary Jo couldn’t escape and died. Ted didn’t report anything until the next day.
This event haunted Ted Kennedy as many people wondered if the two where in a relationship and Ted didn’t want his wife to find out or if Ted was driving drunk.
