Joshua Plath is often spoken about on Welcome to Plathville<\/a>. The family has been grieving his sudden death ever since it happened in 2008, way before the show hit TLC<\/a>. They’ve visited his tombstone at a cemetery, and the story of how Joshua died is really tragic.<\/p>\n

He was just one years old when he died in a farming accident that took place on the Plath farm in the fall of 2008. Kim was using her car to move fruit trees on their Georgia property and did not realise that her young son was nearby until she suddenly hit him.<\/p>\n

Kim admitted she “ran over” her son and said: “I had just seen him, and I thought it was okay.” She was pregnant at the time, as her daughter Amber was born in February 2009, five months later, at home. Investigator Daniel Singletary ruled that it was an accident.<\/p>\n
