 Seven weeks after she hanged herself, Mary Richardson Kennedy was reburied in a Cape Cod cemetery 700 feet from her original grave near other Kennedy family members. 
 
 Frank Maki, superintendent of the St. Francis Xavier Cemetery near Hyannisport, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Robert Kennedy's estranged wife was exhumed earlier this month. She was first buried on May 19 near her husband's aunt and uncle, Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Sargent Shriver. 
 
 Robert Kennedy Jr. reportedly asked that Mary Kennedy be reburied on a hilltop surrounded by empty plots he's negotiating to buy. 
 
 Calls from the AP to people representing Mary and Robert Kennedy were not immediately returned on Saturday. 
 
 The 52-year-old mother of four hanged herself on May 16 in a barn by the couple's home in New York's Westchester County amid bitter divorce proceedings, after he won temporary custody of their four children, ages 11 to 18. 
 
 Since he filed for divorce two years ago, her battle against drug and alcohol addiction included an arrest for driving while intoxicated. An autopsy report showed she had antidepressants in her system when she died. 
 
 In a court affidavit linked to their divorce, Robert claimed his wife beat him, threatened suicide in front of her children, ran over the family dog and drank until she passed out. 
 
 The Richardson family said his account was filled with lies. 
 
 They lost a court fight to bury her at a location of their choosing. 
 
 The Cape Cod cemetery is in Centerville, near the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport. 
 
 Mary Kennedy's relatives did not attend the funeral Robert Kennedy organized in Bedford, N.Y., the Westchester County town where they lived. After her burial, the Richardsons organized a private tribute to her in Manhattan.

 Mary Richardson Kennedy reached out to estranged hubby Robert F. Kennedy Jr. before commiting suicide in May. But RFK Jr. didn't help. 
 
 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently blew off his suicidal wife Mary Richardson Kennedy when she pleaded with him to “take care of her” just one day before she hanged herself. 
 
 RFK Jr. told his wife’s Bedford caretaker that he could not do more to save his estranged wife because “she doesn’t want to help herself,” the caretaker told cops who probed Mary’s death. 
 
 The seemingly cold words are contained in Bedford Police investigative records and include a one-sided account from RFK Jr. about his last conversation with his doomed wife. 
 
 “She told me she was sorry for everything,” he told police. “She said I was right about everything, and everything was her fault. She then told me she needed me to take care of her.” 
 
 Mary, a 52-year-old mother of four who had battled drug and alcohol addiction for many years, was despondent over her impending divorce from RFK Jr. when she killed herself. 
 
 The papers do not reveal what Kennedy told the desperate woman, but they suggest he allegedly turned down another plea to aid his wife from the unnamed caretaker. 
 
 She told cops that Mary had stopped going to the gym in the mornings and was “staying in bed by herself.” 
 
 Mary “asked me to pray for her, because she got more bad news from her lawyer,” the caretaker stated in the papers. 
 
 Worried, the caretaker told cops she contacted Bobby. 
 
 “I noticed some changes in Mary,” she said. “I thought something was wrong with her. I told Bobby about her, and I told him that she needs help.” 
 
 Mary was found dead May 16 in the barn of her Westchester County spread. 
 
 Perhaps in deference to the Kennedy family, the first reports indicated that the caretaker had found her lifeless body and sounded the alarm — not her AA sponsor. 
 
 But on the day Mary was found dead, Kennedy had reached out to the sponsor, Shannon White, and said “he was worried that something had happened to Mary and that she may have hurt herself,” the papers revealed. 
 
 White told cops that she had also received a call from a distraught Mary the day before and related what she told Bobby. 
 
 “I told him I was surprised because she had been blossoming in front of my eyes with the work she had been doing with AA,” White said. 
 
 Bobby also sought guidance on how to break the news to their children that their mother was dead, the papers revealed. 
 
 The couples’ kids, who range in age from 11 to 17, were not in the house when Mary hanged herself. 
 
 “Bobby asked me and then the police separately how to tell his children about this,” an unidentified person states in the papers. 
 
 “I suggested telling them himself and gathering people around him who are supportive. I also suggested he clear his calendar to be with them. He said maybe he should take them away somewhere. ... I said they may need to be close by their mother’s things for a bit.” 
 
 Mary’s death sparked an unseemly battle over where to bury her between Bobby and her family. 
 
 Her brothers and sisters sued to have her buried in Westchester. But Bobby prevailed in court and laid her to rest at St. Francis Xavier Cemetery near the Kennedy clan’s Hyannis Port compound. 
 
 In July, Mary’s body was dug up and moved — without any warning to her family — to a less central section of the cemetery. 
 
 Word of the plot switch came on the same day The Daily News reported that Mary might have changed her mind at the last minute about hanging herself. 
 
 Her autopsy report revealed that her fingers were caught between her neck and the noose when she was found — and that there were at least three antidepressants in her blood when she died. The papers also revealed that she was wearing black gym clothing when she killed herself. 
 
 Bobby Kennedy is currently dating "Curb Your Enthusiasm" actress Cheryl Hines and was recently photographed with her on Cape Cod.

– Mary Kennedy didn't get to rest in peace for long: The coffin of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s estranged wife was dug up earlier this month and moved to a new site some 700 feet away, reports the AP, and RFK Jr. apparently requested the move. Mary Kennedy, who killed herself in May, was originally buried near Kennedy family members including Sargent Shriver and Eunice Kennedy Shriver; her new grave site is located on a hill surrounded by empty plots that RFK Jr. is attempting to buy. Mary Kennedy's family lost a court battle with Robert Kennedy Jr. to bury her where they wanted, and they boycotted her May 19 burial at St. Francis Xavier Cemetery, near the Kennedys' compound in Hyannisport, Mass. Meanwhile, Kerry Kennedy, Mary Kennedy's best friend and RFK Jr.'s sister, has been charged with DUI after fleeing the scene of an accident, reports ABC. Kerry Kennedy was found passed out on the side of the highway; she denies she was under the influence, but says she had taken an Ambien.
