Turing, regarded as the father of computing and artificial intelligence, is best known for his contribution to cracking the German Enigma codes during the second world war with the creation of early computers such as the bombe.

In an act of utter disgrace, for which the British government only apologized in 2009, Turing was prosecuted for homosexuality in 1952. He was chemically castrated and died in 1954 (aged 41) after biting into an apple laced with cyanide. At the time, an inquest declared this to be suicide. However, some believe his death was an accident.
