Deleting duplicate elements from a sorted linked list

Given a sorted linked list, how do we delete duplicate nodes from it?

This question is simple and straightforward, we take two pointers, current and next which points the adjacent nodes.

Take a look at the following diagram to get better understanding.

Here is the C++ implementation
