Tatiana Schlossberg, an environmental journalist, author, and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, has died at 35 after a highly publicized battle with an aggressive form of blood cancer. Her family announced her death on Tuesday through the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, saying in a brief statement, “Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.” The message was signed by her husband, George Moran, their children, and her immediate and extended family.
Schlossberg’s death comes just weeks after she publicly revealed in The New Yorker that she had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a fast-moving blood cancer, with a rare mutation typically seen in older patients. She wrote that she had been given less than a year to live with the mutation, known as Inversion 3, making the disease especially difficult to treat.
