Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean Death

Maeve Kennedy McKean and her 8-year-old son Gideon died on April 2, 2020, following a canoeing accident in the Chesapeake Bay. They had paddled out to retrieve a ball and were unable to paddle back to shore.

Addressing the incident, Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean’s husband, David McKean said in a Facebook post, “Gideon and Maeve were playing kickball by the small, shallow cove behind the house, and one of them kicked the ball into the water. The cove is protected, with much calmer wind and water than in the greater Chesapeake. They got into a canoe, intending simply to retrieve the ball, and somehow got pushed by wind or tide into the open bay. About 30 minutes later they were spotted by an onlooker from land, who saw them far out from shore, and called the police. After that last sighting, they were not seen again.”
