Welcome To Plathville fans softened their attitude toward Olivia Palth this weekend as she received terrible news. Consequently, she’s taking some time off of social media and TLC fans fully understand. While she isn’t the most popular person on the show, viewers set aside their snarking for a bit in respect of her personal tragedy.
Welcome To Plathville: Olivia Plath’s Brother Passed Away Suddenly
Ethan’s wife has siblings, but some people feel a bit confused because a Wiki page claims they are called “Lydia, Joshua, Nathan, Sophia, and Elisey.” Fans don’t really know the family of Olivia (nee Meggs) and they don’t appear on the TLC show, But some names overlap. There was a Joshua (deceased) in the Plath family, and there’s a Michah Plath as well. But the recent tragedy didn’t involve him. Instead, it was a sibling of Olivia’s named by the media as Micah Meggs.
Welcome To Plathville fans heard about the TLC star’s brothers before. Back in June last year, Nathan Meggs was arrested for DUI. That could have been a tragedy in the making. But now there’s a terribly sad time ahead for the family because MIcah Meggs (15), was reported as identified in a fatal accident. Olivia Plath took to her Instagram Stories and told fans that she would not be available for a while on her social media.
Welcome To Plathville: How Did Micah Meggs Pass Away?
When WSET reported on the tragedy, the outlet noticed that Micah passed away when he was hit by a car. The report said, “A 15-year-old male was riding his electric bicycle in the southbound right lane on Route 220 when the bicycle was hit by a 2005 Honda Accord, which was traveling south in the right lane on Route 220.” Unfortunately, Micah was killed at the scene.
Welcome To Plathville fans saw that u/daffodil0127 shared the news report on Reddit. Actually, the report about the death included the fact that the accident happened in Franklin County. In fact, it turns out that Rocky Mount seems like a dangerous place to ride a bicycle. One member of the community wrote, ” i used to have family there too. My cousin’s friend got into an accident like this, same age too. Hit by a truck as he was riding his bike home from my cousin’s birthday party.”
TLC Fans Feel Very Sad
One Welcome To Plathville fan was not totally shocked that young people on bikes lose their lives in Ricky Mount. They wrote, “I have family in Rocky Mount, and 220 is a place I would never want to ride my bike. It’s winding with poor sight lines; and of course the drivers speed like crazy.”
People sent in their feelings about the sad news for Olivia. One of them penned, “Oh no, my heart goes out to the entire family, friends.”
Another reader said, “I’m so sorry for her loss. I can’t even begin to imagine what the family is going through.”
