==Death==

Turing committed suicide by eating a poisoned apple after he was forced to take hormone treatment as part of his punishment for being convicted of homosexual acts. On September 10, 2009, British Prime Minister [[Gordon Brown]] issued a statement to "celebrate" Turing's "contribution to Britain’s fight against the darkness of dictatorship" and to acknowledge that his prosecution was "appalling" and "utterly unfair". "I am pleased," Brown stated, "to have the chance to say how deeply sorry I and we all are for what happened to him."<ref>http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page20571</ref>

Turnig was found dead by his housekeeper on June 8, 1954. The cause of death after an autopsy was determined to be cyanide poisoning; however, there was also a half eaten apple beside the bed. The apple was not tested for traces of cyanide.<ref name=hodges>Hodges, Andrew (1983). Alan Turing : the enigma. London: Burnett Books. ISBN 0-09-152130-0.</ref> Turing's death has been cause for much speculation, as parts of it seem accidental; for instance, the poisoning seems more consistent with inhilation than ingestion, leading some to believe that he accidentally inhaled fumes while sleeping from an aparatus of his set up in the spare room.<ref>Pease, Roland (23 June 2012). "Alan Turing: Inquest's suicide verdict 'not supportable'". BBC News.</ref> Some speculate that Turing let the accidental nature of his death happen on purpose, as a way to give his mother [[plausible deniability]].<ref name=hodges/>

Turing also became an [[Atheism|atheist]] after his friend Christopher Morcom died [http://www.hyperhistory.net/apwh/bios/b2turing-alan-mathison.htm].
