That family is cursed!!

She was doing it for attention but killed herself by accident. This is sad to hear.

Uh, Sylvia Plath definitely wanted to kill herself.

Oddly enough, Ted Hughes' mistress killed herself in the same manner as Plath on the anniversary of Plath's suicide as well. She basically lived her life in Plath's shadow.

I dont think you can chalk suicides up to a curse. If they all died of freak accidents, I might agree, but this? Not so much.

Hughes murdered them both. He burned her journal so that her kids didn't have to read it?

Dear Journal,

I think Tedsie is trying to kill me... I don't eat anything he prepares anymore, and last night I am sure he tried to chuck a toaster into my bath.
