Son of legendary Washington Post publisher commits suicide like his dad

A son of legendary former Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham shot himself to death in a suicide that’s eerily reminiscent of his dad’s more than 50 years ago, according to a report Monday.

William Graham, 69, died Dec. 20 at his home in Los Angeles, according to an obituary in the Washington Post, which quoted his brother Donald as saying the cause was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

William’s death came just two days before the Washington, DC, premiere of the movie “The Post,” which recounts the paper’s 1971 efforts to publish the infamous “Pentagon Papers” and features Oscar winner Meryl Streep as his late mom.
