BOSTON - Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who spent a week in the hospital for hypothermia, has been released, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
Shriver, 83, became chilled after a sailing trip on Aug. 8. She was taken first to Cape Cod Hospital then to Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment. MGH spokeswoman Donita Boddie said Shriver was released Saturday.
