Why did Alan turing kill himself?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, Alan Turing, the brilliant mind behind cracking the Enigma code during World War II, sadly took his own life in 1954. The official cause was cyanide poisoning, but it's believed he did it because of the hormone treatment he was forced to undergo as punishment for being gay. So, yeah, it's a mix of tragic history and society being a real buzzkill.

Answer 2

Alan Turing OBE, FRS died in Wilmslow, England on June 7th 1954. He committed suicide by eating an apple laced with cyanide following his prosecution for homesexual acts (illegal at that time in the UK) He was 41 years, 11 months and 15 days old when he died.

Answer 3

Because he was homosexual and he could not live with life.

^awful answer.

He was convicted of 'gross indecency with a male' in 1952. Instead of prison, he chose chemical castration - injections of the female hormone cestrogen, which it was hoped would suppress homosexuality. The injections destroyed his athletic frame and made him very bloated. They set him on a slow and sad decent into grief and madness.
