Poet Sylvia Plath's son commits suicide in Alaska

FAIRBANKS, Alaska : Nicholas Hughes, the son of poet Sylvia Plath, has killed himself, 46 years after his mother committed suicide and almost 40 years to the day after his stepmother, Assia Wevill, did the same.

[Shock and Sadness]

I feel so sad about Nicholas Hughes' death. My heart goes out to Frieda Hughes, who has lost everyone in her immediate family.
