'Beautiful Mind' mathematician John Nash killed in New Jersey car crash
By Casey Rackham May 24th, 2015
John Forbes Nash Jr., the mathematician who inspired "A Beautiful Mind," died alongside his wife, Alicia, on Saturday (May 23). John was 86. Alicia was 82.
While traveling in a taxi on the New Jersey turnpike, the vehicle they were riding in crashed into a guard rail, reports NJ.com. According to State Police Sgt. Gregory Williams, the couple was announced dead at the scene after being "ejected from the car" on their way back from the airport. Williams says it didn't appear as if the couple were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
John, who won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1994 and famously struggled with schizophrenia, inspired the story behind the biography "A Beautiful Mind," which was later adapted into a film of the same name.
Following the tragic news, Russell Crowe, who portrayed Nash in the film, took to Twitter to pay his respects.
"Stunned... my heart goes out to John & Alicia & family," writes the actor. "An amazing partnership. Beautiful minds, beautiful hearts."
