John Nash RIP

‘A Beautiful Mind’ Mathematician John Nash and His Wife Killed in New Jersey Taxi Crash

Princeton University mathematician and Nobel Prize winner John Nash, whose life was the subject of the film “A Beautiful Mind,” was killed in a taxi crash along with his wife in New Jersey on Saturday.

Nash and Alicia Nash were in a taxi on the New Jersey Turnpike when the driver lost control and crashed into a guard rail, said New Jersey State Police Sgt. Gregory Williams. Nash was 86; his wife was 82.

Authorities don’t believe Nash or his wife were wearing seat belts since they were both ejected from the taxi, Williams said. The couple lived in Princeton, New Jersey.

What a horrible shame.

That’s some sad news. We lost one of heros.

Great man , unlucky. He seemed to have such a nice life in recovery.

I could not believe the news at first - thought it was a hoax.
Yes I am saddened by the news, but at least he died in his 80s - he had a rocky life, but a full one
