  notes: 'SCHOLARLY DISPUTE on death cause: the 1954 inquest ruled suicide; Prof. Jack Copeland argues
    the evidence is equally consistent with accidental inhalation of cyanide from home gold-electroplating
    experiments, noting the coroner''s superficial investigation and Turing''s reported good spirits.
    Biographers Hodges and Leavitt lean suicide; Copeland leans accident. Flagged per instructions. (Enricher
    note: Turing''s marathon PB was set at the 1947 AAA Championships, not 1948; a 1948 leg injury ended
    his Olympic-team contention.)'

  notes: 'Son Guy''s birth resolved to 8 Sept 1945 (not 1944) via his obituary and Women in World History;
    she was ~17, though the memoir frames its ending ''at 16.'' Caged Bird first published 1969; the ADB
    seed''s ''1970'' corresponds to the US National Book Award nomination year and paperback surge. Cairo/Accra
    chronology carries a scholarly conflict: Angelou''s memoir dates the Ghana move to July 1962, but
    a UAR residence card renewed Aug 1962 (Journal of Global History) suggests ~1963; the Accra span is
    conventionally cited as 1962–1965. The 1935 abuse is year-precision; sources vary between age 7 and

  notes: 'PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED DEATH: Freud died 23 September 1939 after Max Schur administered escalating
    morphine doses at Freud''s explicit request (''Now it is nothing but torture and makes no sense'').
    A revised account (via Josephine Stross) proposes a third/final dose and slightly different timing;
    flagged honestly rather than logged as ''cancer, age 83''. Circumcision 13 May 1856 (Jewish 8-day
    tradition) is genuinely dated. ''The Interpretation of Dreams'' issued November 1899, post-dated 1900.'

    1 Apr 1960; Nicholas 17 Jan 1962), so this profile is built entirely from independent biography. Frieda''s
    1 April 1960 birthdate is corroborated by independent sources. The Bell Jar publication is precisely
    14 January 1963 per the National Library of Scotland. First suicide attempt dated 24 Aug 1953 (many

    break is variously dated July or September 1962.'
