On November 25, 1911, [[Paul Lafargue]] and [[Laura Marx]] committed suicide together.

== Lead Up and Reason ==
In 1868, [[Paul Lafargue]] and [[Laura Marx]] married. [[Paul Lafargue]] was a socialist activist and [[Laura Marx]] was one of Karl Marx’s daughters. On August 5, 1895, who, unlike his friend [[Karl Marx]] had no children, died of laryngeal cancer, and the couple inherited much of Engels’ property after his death.

On November 25, 1911, the couple ended their own lives via cyanide poisoning. The next day, on November 26, 1911, the couples’ neighbor discovered the couple dead on their porch in each other’s arms. Lafargue and Marx left behind a suicide note stating: “Healthy in body and mind, we are enjoying us lives before pitiless old age which has been depriving us of the pleasures and joys one after another, and which has been stripping us of our physical and mental powers, paralyses our energy and breaks our will, making us a burden to ourselves and to others. For some years we had promised ourselves not to live beyond 70, arid we fixed the exact year for our departure from life. I prepared the method for the execution of our resolution, It was a hypodermic of cyanide acid.

We die with the supreme joy of being certain that in the near future the cause for which we devoted 45 years will triumph.

Long live Communism, long live international socialism!”
