I doubt that it took him more than two years to realize that he received a slap on the wrist on a public indecency charge, and that only then did he decide to commit suicide with a two-year-old incident as his motive. I agree. The circumstances of his death suggest to me that it was accidental. If it was a suicide, it seems probable that there was another motive. Unfortunately, the "homosexual oppression" angle is too politically useful for it ever to go away.

I thought he took cyanide, but I could be wrong. It's possible that it was accidental.

The circumstances of his death suggest to me that it was accidental. Turing accidentally pumped cyanide into an apple and ate it? That notion makes the typical JFK Assassination theory seem rational.
Depression in reaction to the quack hormone "therapy" ordered by the court is more plausible.
