Its a sad and perhaps little known story that two of the greatest mathematicians of the last century died in tragic circumstances. Alan Turing (as the "homepage" states) killed himself with a cyanide laced apple. This is perhaps because, having made ample use of his code breaking work during the war, the British turned to persucuting him for his homosexuality :mad: . Kurt Godel starved himself to death at the age of 70, believing people were trying to poison him through his food :sad: .
