Sylvia Plath's son kills self

Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath

Very sad–the son of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath has killed himself.  He hanged himself.

Their family history is quite tragic, and they have a long history with depression.  Plath gassed herself while her children slept in another room.  Feminist groups blamed her husband Ted because he had left her for another woman, a woman who ended up gassing herself and her own daughter.

Really sad.
