Christopher Lawford, the nephew of John F Kennedy, has died. He was 63 years old.
Lawford was at a yoga studio on Tuesday night when he suffered a medical emergency, law enforcement sources told TMZ.
Sources said his death appears to be from 'natural causes'. An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the exact cause of death.
Lawford was the son of Patricia Kennedy and Peter Lawford, a Hollywood actor and member of the legendary Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra.

Patricia Kennedy was one of nine children in Joseph P Kennedy Sr's clan. She was the younger sister of JFK and a year older than Bobby Kennedy.
Kerry Kennedy, Bobby's daughter, tweeted photos of Lawford on Tuesday and said the family was mourning his loss.
Lawford, one of Patricia and Peter's four children, was born in Santa Monica in 1955 and moved to New York City with his mother after they divorced in 1966.
He would go on to attend boarding school in Concord, Massachusetts, where he was first introduced to drugs.
Lawford eventually became hooked on heroin and contracted Hepatitis C.

Kerry Kennedy, Lawford's cousin and the daughter of Bobby Kennedy, tweeted a tribute to Lawford on Wednesday
He was also arrested in 1980 for impersonating a doctor in order to get prescription medication in Aspen. He was given probation and the charges were dropped.
Lawford decided to go to rehab after his cousin, David Kennedy, died of a drug overdose in 1984.
That same year he married Jeannie Olsson, his first of three wives and with whom he had three children.
He went on to have two more marriages, most recently wedding a yoga teacher in Hawaii in 2014.
But, according to his Facebook, Lawford was dating artist Kyla Resch since August 2017. It appears he was living in Paia, Hawaii at the time of his death.
In 1988 Lawford, who also earned a law degree from Boston College and a master's certificate in clinical psychology from Harvard, decided he wanted to be an actor.
He went on to appear in a slew of shows include General Hospital and a three-year stint on All My Children.
Lawford also appeared in a number of films including Thirteen Days, Slipstream, and two of the Terminator movies with former cousin-in-law Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Lawford was an actor who was also outspoken about his past battles with drug addiction. He is pictured here with Robert Kennedy Jr, Kennedy Jr's wife Mary Richardson, and their children

He also worked as a producer, acquiring George Lucas' hit film American Graffiti for Universal Studios in the 1970s and later became a correspondent on EXTRA.
Lawford was never shy about his past substance abuse issues.
He wrote two books, including Symptoms of Withdrawal: A Memoir of Snapshots and Redemption - which became a New York Times bestseller - and, more recently, When Your Partner Has An Addiction.
His cousin Maria Shriver praised the latter book, saying: 'This complex issue affects the lives of millions of people and their families every day.'
'Christopher and Beverly [Engel] should be applauded for approaching a delicate subject with true compassion.'
Lawford also released Moments of Clarity: Voices from the Front Lines of Addiction and Recovery, which included essays from celebrities who have struggled with substance abuse.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
