Alan Turing is a mathematician and known to have help the development of Turing machine and help the allies decode the German enigma code which shorten the war and saved millions of lives
But later on he will be convincted of Gross Indicency (being gay) he was given an option to choose jail or chemical castration, and he chooses chemical castration rendering him impotent of sex and he also loses his job
He died in 1954 due to suicide by cyanide poisoning found in an apple
Not only did they do that to him, he was only pardoned for his homosexuality back in 2013, which was way too overdue considering homosexuality was legalised in 1967
