Ted Kennedy died at home shortly before midnight on Tuesday. His body was taken from Hyannisport to the Kennedy Library shortly before noon on Thursday. Where was he for the intervening 36 hours? Do they have facilities at Hyannisport to store corpses? Is it practical to just leave the remains in his bedroom with a sheet pulled over for that much time? Was Kennedys's body taken to a morgue and then returned to the compound for ceremonial reasons?
