How Many Plath Siblings Are There? Here’s a Rundown

Joshua Plath was born in 2007 — but tragically, he died at just 17 months old in an accident on the family’s farm. On the Plath family’s since-deleted website, Kim recounted how she accidentally backed over her son.

“In the fall of 2008, I was transplanting fruit trees with our Suburban, pregnant with our eighth child,” Kim wrote, per the Wayback Machine. “I looked for our 17-month-old Joshua, saw that he was away from the vehicle, then pulled forward to get the next tree. In a panic, I realized what had happened. I ran over our Joshua.”
