Born prematurely, Kennedy lived just over 39 hours before dying from complications of hyaline membrane disease (HMD), after desperate attempts to save him failed.[1] His infant death left the first family and nation in mourning. It also brought HMD, now known as infantile respiratory distress syndrome, into the public consciousness, inspiring further research.
