The pilot of the doomed twin- engine Aero Commander 680 was Ed Zimney. He had warned his 4 passengers that there were dangerous thunderstorms along their flight path and it was to be a rough flight. When the plane began to pitch and roll Zimney wanted to safely land the plane, wait out the storms and continue their journey when it was safe. Kennedy unfastened his seat belt, got up snapped at Zimney "damn it Ed we're late already." Moments later the plane plowed into an orchard instantly killing the pilot and legislative aid Ed Moss. Kennedy and Birch Bayh and Marvella Bayh survived.

As I've heard the news accounts, I don't understand where and when he could possibly been embalmed, other than at home - and given the amount of equipment that would take, I don't seriously think that happened either. So maybe the better question would be whether individuals have to be embalmed in the State of Massachusetts. Now, we must realize that he was to be buried out of state, so I don't know how that affects the decision whether to embalm or not. In Louisiana I think the law is that a body must be embalmed unless the burial takes place within 24 hours of the death. Senator Kennedy's body will NOT be buried within 24 hours, but he did not die nor will he be buried in Louisiana. I would like to know more, though.
