Alan Mathison Turing, June 23 1912 – June 7 1954, was a brilliant  English computer scientist . He contributed to the development of theoretical computer science, and is considered the father of that branch of computer science and artificial intelligence.
That's not the story. He was prosecuted in 1952 for homosexual acts, when this was still a crime in the UK, and agreed to chemical castration instead of going to prison. He died just before he turned 42, from cyanide poisoning, and his death was officially considered suicide.

Eventually, in the early 2000s, the British government issued a formal apology, and Queen Elizabeth II pardoned him posthumously in 2013. In 2017, the UK passed a law pardoning everyone cautioned and convicted under these prior laws.
