Sylvia Plath passed away at the age of 30 (in 1963), of an apparent oven-related suicide. She was an American poet and writer. I remember my poetry teacher in cegep, telling the class about how it was ironic that both Mrs. Plath and her husband's mistress/partner (Assia Wevill) had died in the same manner... by "gassing" themselves. :(
