Alexander Britton Hume Jr. (September 2, 1969 – February 22, 1998), known as Sandy Hume, was an American journalist. He worked for The Hill newspaper in Washington, D.C. He was the son of Brit Hume (former Fox News Channel managing editor) and Clare Jacobs Stoner.[1]
Hume committed suicide in his apartment in Arlington, Virginia. In the months before his death, Hume, an alcoholic, began drinking again. The night before his suicide, he was jailed for drunk driving and tried to hang himself in the U.S. Park Police jail cell. He was evaluated at a psychiatric facility and released. He went home and took his life with a hunting rifle after leaving a lengthy note expressing shame at the previous night's events.[3][4]
