JFK's Granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg Dies at 35 After Battling Aggressive Cancer

  • Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of former US President John F Kennedy, died at 35 after battling acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
  • A Yale and Oxford graduate, she was a climate reporter for The New York Times and author, also contributing to The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Vanity Fair.
  • She revealed her aggressive AML diagnosis, with a rare Inversion 3 mutation, in a New Yorker essay in November, given less than a year to live.
  • Her diagnosis came after giving birth to her second child, when doctors noticed an abnormally high white blood cell count.
  • AML is a rare, aggressive blood and bone marrow cancer, often rapidly worsening, with no specific known causes but linked to genetic mutations.
