Wow, that's quite the list, but it's a bit weird to see Kaczynski thrown in after all of these mathematical legends.
Also, there was quite a bit more to Godel's death than simply dying "from starvation and exhaustion"!

- jorgenveisdal 7y agoI'm afraid Kaczynski is probably more famous than most of them among those not interested in mathematics. And he was an assistant professor of mathematics at UCB when he turned, after all. Gödel's story is certainly a fascinating one. However, he did have a paranoid fear of being poisoned most of his life and weighed 30kg when he died - of malnutrition.
