Ah yes, Alan Turing, a homosexual in a time when that was believed to be a desease.
He was given oestrogen to "control his urges" which resulted in breast tissue forming.

Turing died on June 7, 1954 from what the medical examiners described as, "self-administered potassium cyanide while in a moment of mental imbalance." Other reasons for his death have surfaced. His mother claimed that he used to experiment with household chemicals, trying to create new substances and became careless. Others claim he was homosexual and killed himself to prevent embarrassment.
