Convicted in 1952 for homosexuality (still criminalized at the time), Alan Turing opted to receive chemical castration in lieu of prison. In 1954, sixteen days before his 42nd birthday, Turing died of cyanide poisoning and his death was later officially ruled as suicide. It was not until 2009, after a massive internet campaign, that UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official apology to the Turing family and the LGBT community for the British government's treatment of Turing. In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II granted Turing a posthumous pardon.
