Was Code Breaker Alan Turing Silenced For Knowing Too Much?

The Hit The Lights Podcast

In the case of Alan Turing; the mathematician who became infamous during World War Two for his contribution to science, cryptography, and mathematics, it would appear that there is no one more qualified to receive gracious honour and recognition for his work. Though this was the case for some time, Turing would suffer many injustices in his life; battling his own demons whilst being persecuted for his sexual orientation. Perhaps the biggest conspiracy to haunt the life and works of Alan Turing would surround the case and cause of his untimely death at the age of 42. Reported as suicide at the time, there have since been multiple reports, discussions and theories centring on this issue and is the focus of our video today. Did Alan Turing ‘really’ kill himself? What troubles had the respected scientist endured in the lead up to his death? Could it be that he was actually murdered for what he knew?
