    Ezra Kennedy, 17, of Westfield, New Jersey, fell off Kaaterskill Falls on Wednesday, state police say. Troopers say the victim was deceased when responding patrols located his body near the base of the falls, located about 40 miles south of Albany.

    A preliminary investigation indicates that Kennedy had been hiking with a group of relatives and friends when he made it to the top of the lower falls. But as he neared the edge, he lost his footing on the wet rock, causing him to accidentally slip and fall approximately 50 feet to the rocks below.

    State Police do not suspect foul play. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday.

    Anybody else realize his last name was Kennedy….pretty weird might be related as we know there was a curse on the family name also take note of the name of the falls

    #4 , we all noticed because, with a name like Ezra, we thought he might Chas VShalom be another of our sons and daughters killing himself. As it happens, his name is Kennedy, but perhaps we should be giving thought to our own curses and problems and less to a gleeful tall tale about some other family.

    I think #1 has a real problem with reality.

    Terrible news about the boy.
    There are about 5 or 6 curse theories with Joe Sr. None of them make a lot sense.
    And if curses really work, you would think we would use them pretty often to get rid of all the bad guys. We would curse the ISIS leaders, or the candidate we want to lose, or the Jewish slum landlord.
    BTW, “kill” is from the Dutch word for stream. Like Catskill.
