After Alan Turing got all of the recognition and joining high class work with more machinery and inventions, his life was coming to an end. A man named Arnold Murray was a man who went to Alan Turing's house on a usual manner. Arnold had been invited to Turing's house lots of times for staying the night and having meals with Alan. Later in there "Friendship" Arnold sets up a crime to break into Alan's home. Alan had reported the unknown reasoning crime. In able to get Arnold arrested, Alan had to spill out his secret that he was a homosexual and so was Arnold Murray. This caused both of them to get charged with "Gross Indecency". Alan had a choice to change his feelings to either go into a chemical hormone which would change his thoughts or to be imprisoned. Alan had chosen the imprisonment. Alan Turing had wanted to stay homosexual because he believed what he felt. They chose to put him on chemical hormone changes anyway which would make him non-gay.

The Death |
Alan Turing had stayed imprisoned for quite a while. Alan couldn't handle what was going on. Alan Turing had took hislife on June 7th, 1954. He was found lying on the floor by his own room cleaner. What seemed to happen was he bit into a Cyanide apple. Cyanide is a poison salt which was put in the apple by himself. This had been very disappointing to multiple people.

A Sorry |
Gordon Brown gives Alan Turing a sorry 55 years later. Gordon had described the event has "Horrifying and utterly unfair". Gordon in his description that he had felt that it was a very unfair act and that he shouldn't have been treated the way he was treated in the 1950's.
