Edmund Dinis Dies

Edmund Dinis, the former prosecutor whose political career sputtered after he oversaw the grand jury investigation into the late Sen. Edward Kennedy's involvement in the Chappaquiddick case, has died. He was 85.

Dinis, who championed causes important to Portuguese-Americans throughout his life, died of natural causes Sunday at an assisted living center in Dartmouth, Mass., said Henry Arruda, general manager of WJFD-FM, the Portuguese language radio station Dinis owned since 1975.

Dinis did not marry and had no children. Survivors include a sister, two nephews and a niece. A private funeral service is planned.

Rest In Peace, Edmund.
