arbekaи умер от самоубийства
Джордж Роберт Прайс (англ. George Robert Price) (1922 — 1975) — американский популяционный генетик.
Продолжая заниматься научной журналистикой, попытался написать книгу под названием «Непростой путь» о холодной войне Соединённых Штатов с Советским Союзом и Китайской Народной Республикой, но пожаловался, что «мир продолжал меняться быстрее, чем я мог бы об этом написать», и поэтому книга так и не была закончена. Обратившись в христианство и отдав все своё имущество бедным, впал в депрессию и умер от самоубийства.
................
Price was born in 1922 in the U.S. state of New York.[2] His father, an electrician, died when Price was four. His mother was a former theater actress, and the family struggled through the Great Depression.[3]
Price attended Birch Wathen School[4] followed by Stuyvesant High School in New York. He graduated with a degree in chemistry from University of Chicago in 1943 and received his doctorate in the subject from the same institution in 1946.[3]
In 1947 he married Julia Madigan, but their relationship was contentious as George was a strong atheist while his wife was a practicing Roman Catholic.[3] They divorced in 1955, having had two daughters, Annamarie and Kathleen.
Death
Possibly due to the long-term complications of his thyroid treatment,[1] Price committed suicide on January 6, 1975, by cutting his carotid artery with a pair of nail scissors. His body was identified by his close colleague, W.D. Hamilton.[17]
A memorial service was held for Price in Euston. The only persons present from academia were Hamilton and Maynard Smith, the other few mourners being those who had come to know him through his community work.

Date: 2024-01-11 06:12 am (UTC)Судя по более подробному изложению истории Прайса и его двух статей в Нейча, дело всетаки не в формуле.
Похоже, что он пытался быть настоящим христианином, но не в скиту, а в городе. Раздавал все, что просили, возился с агрессивными и злобными бездомными, перестал лечиться. Остался без денег, без собственного жилья, с подорванной мотивацией, без научной цели, больной.
В городе невозможно долго и полно следовать учению Христа...
