Oldest daughter of Sen. Ted Kennedy dies

Six years after she was deemed cancer-free, Kara Kennedy accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom on behalf of her father, just days before Sen. Edward Kennedy died while battling a brain tumor.

However, her own lung cancer treatment -- surgery and grueling chemotherapy and radiation -- left her physically weakened, her brother Patrick Kennedy said. She died Friday at age 51 after her daily workout at a Washington-area health club.

Walter Mondale's daughter, Eleanor, 51, dies

MINNEAPOLIS - Eleanor Mondale, the vivacious daughter of former Vice President Walter Mondale who carved out her own reputation as an entertainment reporter, radio show host and gossip magnet, has died at her home in Minnesota. She was 51.

What are the odds? 

It would have been really interesting if it had happened on the same day, but Kennedy's death was Friday while Mondale died on Saturday.
