Some of you may be curious about Turing's creative suicide. It goes back to an earlier point in his life, when he saw Snow White in theaters. He was apparently very taken with the movie, and was sometimes heard by his colleagues to mutter as a mantra "Dip the apple in the brew, let the sleeping-death seep through." Driven to despair, he poisoned the apple himself and ate it. A macabre ending to a brilliant intellect.
