Sheldon continued writing under the Tiptree pen name for another decade.
On May 19, 1987, at age 71, Sheldon took the life of her 84-year-old, nearly-blind husband and then took her own.
They were found dead, hand-in-hand in bed, in their Virginia home.
According to biographer Julie Phillips, the suicide note Sheldon left was written years earlier, and saved until needed.
In an interview with Charles Platt in the early 1980s Sheldon spoke of her emotional problems and previous suicide attempts.
Much of her work contains dark and pessimistic elements, which in retrospect can be seen as reflective of her troubled emotions.
