> his own people torture and de facto murder him
In reality, this is a matter of considerable debate. The chemical castration period ended fourteen months before his death. The official inquest into his death ruled that he had committed suicide by consuming a cyanide-laced apple.
Jack Copeland, an editor of volumes of Turing's work and Director of the Turing Archive for the History of Computing, has suggested that Turing's death may have been accidental, caused by the cyanide fumes produced by an experiment in his spare room, and that the coroner's investigation was poorly conducted.

- LeoPanthera 5y agoYou do understand that if Turing killed himself accidentally, that's good for the "crown"? (The British government is not "the crown".) They would have no reason to cover up an accidental death, so I'm not sure why you've suddenly flipped your viewpoint here. Not everything is a conspiracy.
