An eye-opening and intimate look into the lonely, sad and nightmarish lives left behind celebrity suicides, Death Becomes Them covers twenty subjects ranging from Sylvia Plath to Ian Curtis, from Vincent van Gogh to Abbie Hoffman, and Diane Arbus to Anne Sexton. Some are tragic: Dorothy Dandridge was found naked on her bathroom floor, a handful of anti-depressants swimming in her system. Others are bizarre: Hunter S. Thompson shot himself while on the phone with his wife, in an eerie, copycat tribute to his hero, Ernest Hemingway, who killed himself in a similar way 44 years earlier.
Alix Strauss explores some of the most talked about and monumental suicides of the past while examining our own morbid curiosity, asking why we have become so fixated on these famously tortured people.
Death Becomes Them is a private, provocative and personal tribute to these lost souls—a fond remembrance, a final goodbye.
