The missing 8-year-old great-grandson of Robert F. Kennedy was found dead underwater Wednesday afternoon, two days after his mother’s body was recovered, authorities said.
Gideon McKean was found around 1:40 p.m., about 2,000 feet from where his mother Maeve McKean, 40, was discovered, according to the Maryland Natural Resources Police.
The two went missing last Friday after their canoe flipped amid strong winds in the Chesapeake Bay, officials said.
Authorities said the son and his mom were both submerged 25 feet in the water when they were found. The search lasted five days.

The two were discovered 2.3 miles from the Shady Side, Md., residence where they launched in the canoe, according to officials.
