Talk:Misha Mahowald

Death

What was the circumstances of her death? – Kaihsu (talk) 12:00, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

The circumstances are described accurately if dramatically in George Gilder's book The Silicon Eye; should there be a reference to this book in the article? Tobidelbruck (talk) 16:31, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Could you please elaborate in substance? And yes, please describe in the article and reference the book. – Kaihsu (talk) 12:17, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

‘After an unsuccessful attempt to cut her [own] spinal chord [sic], Misha had left the apartment for a nearby train station. She jumped in front of the train to Geneva. She was thirty-three years old.’ (pages 195 and 196 of The Silicon Eye) – Kaihsu (talk) 20:40, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Is there some reason that the circumstances of her death at age 33 are not mentioned in her article? Especially since the mention of her death is prefaced with a personal characterization of her: "Like many creative geniuses, Mahowald was a complicated individual, haunted by conflicting emotions." - PizzaAddict (talk) 21:49, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

I believe that this is the correct link: http://www.witi.com/center/witimuseum/halloffame/247623/Dr.-Misha-Mahowald-Neuromorphic-Engineer-Institute-of-Neuroinformatics/

Could "someone" who understands kindly make the correction? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.153.21 (talk) 17:10, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
