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.

Shriver is the fifth of Rose and Joseph Kennedy's nine children and the mother of Maria Shriver, the television journalist who is married to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. She is the sister of U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy and former President John F. Kennedy.
