'A Beautiful Mind' mathematician John Nash, wife killed in crash

John Nash, the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician whose life story inspired the movie A Beautiful Mind, and his wife, Alicia Nash, were killed Saturday afternoon in a car crash on the New Jersey Turnpike, New Jersey State Police said.

The Nashes were in a taxi traveling southbound in the left lane of the New Jersey Turnpike, State Police Sgt. Gregory Williams told USA TODAY, when the driver lost control while trying to pass another vehicle. The taxi crashed into the guard rail and then into another car in the right lane.

The Nashes were ejected from the taxi, and were pronounced dead at the scene, Williams said.The taxi driver was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Nash, who shared the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1994, was 86, while Alicia Nash was 82. The couple lived in Princeton, N.J., police said, where John Nash was a senior research mathematician at Princeton University.

Trademark black-ops hit.

Subjects killed in automobile "accident", bodies badly mangled (to disguise true cause of death?), while being driven by a stranger who magically escapes without a scrape.

Details would indicate a voluntary manslaughter charge but so far all media has shielded the supposed taxi driver, not even mentioning his name.

The drivers of both vehicles were unhurt. Cheney out hunting again?

Not to be crass, but shouldn't a genius know to buckle his seat belt?

e_blazer, that was my thought. A lot of people don't in cabs, who knows why - I recently used a cab with my sister and had to argue with her about it! The driver, I imagine, was wearing a seat belt and possibly had an airbag. So he survived with maybe bruises and they were ejected.

A simpler, more rational explanation than Maris' conspiracy theory.

Neither simpler nor rational at all.

2 geniuses in their 80's die from supposedly simultaneously breaking the same law and putting their lives in danger for absolutely no reason. Coincidentally, both of them are completely ejected from the back seat of the taxi that picked them up at the airport, because he lost control trying to blow around some other car on the turnpike then hit a guardrail. Nash's skull is crushed beyond recognition. The cab was driven by an Egyptian muslim immigrant Tarek Girgis, who just became a cab driver 2 weeks ago at the age of 46.

This is identical in nearly every detail to the murder of reporter Bob Simon 3 months ago. No seatbelt, Abdul Reshad Fedah, a 44-year-old nationalAfghan muslim immigrant cab driver who caused accident and hit guardrail.

Stop me when I get to the rational part.

His son is age 14, 6 foot 10. Reminds me of when I was 14.

+> Stop Stop Why are immigrants driving the roads? Why can't fully qualified drivers do this? Its' confusing for me to drive around up in NYC!!

Occams razor - the simplest explanation is more likely correct.
Door A:
People often do not fasten seat belts while in back seat.
Auto accidents are frequent occurrences.
People not wearing seat belts are frequently seriously injured or killed while those properly buckled up suffer only minor injuries.
Therefore, the deaths of these two people were a tragic accident and an object lesson: Wear your damn seatbelt.

Door B:
Two people were ejected from car and at least one had head smashed.
Cab driver was Muslim which means something (aside from the simple fact of his being Muslim).
Therefore, someone for some unknown reason conspired to either 1) abduct an octogenarian retired mathematician and his wife and substitute unrecognizable bodies or 2) kill the couple while for some other unknown reason making it hard to identify them. Because in 2015 no one has heard of DNA testing or other means of identification beyond facial recognition.

On planet Earth, I prefer Door A. True, Door B is possible in that it does not violate the physical laws of the universe, but it is very improbable and there is no evidence.

I'd choose Door A.

STILL RATHER HAVE HIM AS OUR GM THAN THE OTHER JOHN NASH
