Turing died because he had a head full of military secrets and consorted with gay prostitutes, and was therefore considered a security (blackmail) risk.

Interesting theory you've got there. Please explain why, if he was considered such a security risk, he was charged and tried publicly in a civilian court, and then allowed to roam freely for two years after his conviction.
Turing died because his lifestyle was illegal and he was being punished for it, not because it was a secret.
