"The world is a little less beautiful today,” Ethel Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy’s widow, said in the statement.

Tara Miltimore of the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office told the Times in a statement that police responded to a residence on Marchant Avenue in Hyannis Port after the report of a death.

“The matter remains under investigation by the Barnstable police as well as state police detectives assigned to the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office,” Miltimore said, but did not confirm the identity of the deceased.

Hyannis Fire Lt. David Webb told CNN that a person was taken to Cape Cod Hospital.

The compound was a summer White House during John F. Kennedy's presidency.
