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)
