Homosexuality was a crime in "Britain" and there was law banning it under ""gross indecency" under Section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885".
He then took his own life with Cyanide:
Quote:On 8 June 1954, Turing's housekeeper found him dead at the age of 41; he had died the previous day. Cyanide poisoning was established as the cause of death.
Actually, Turing wasn’t sentenced to prison. He was given the choice between incarceration and chemical castration, choosing the later. Also, his death from cyanide poisoning was likely accidental.
