Yes, very sad.

Yes, I read about it. At least he was on the way back from getting a very prestigious award.

Yes, but as sad as the news is, at least he got to live to see 86; if only Alan Turing had lived so long.

He and his wife. The children, adult children, lost both parents in one swoop.

I understand they were not wearing seat belts. Wear seat belts in taxis please.

Yes, I saw the film just two weeks ago and was surprised then to find out he was still alive.

I did, my initial thought was “who the fuck is John Nash”
My secondary thought was “oh, so that was John Nash”

My Mom worked in a retirement home, where Nash’s sister was. She would get calls from Nash when he needed help balancing his checkbook. Yes, that’s true.
