39. Assia Wevill – Age 41
Assia Wevill is famous for having successfully escaped the Nazis during early World War II. She committed suicide after killing the young daughter of poet Ted Hughes, with whom she had a relationship. Coincidentally, she happened to have chosen the same suicide method that Hughes’ previous wife, Sylvia Plath, used. She gassed herself together with 4-year-old Shura at their home in London.
