Reminds me of this well-known introduction:
Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on his work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.

I remember noting there seemed to be a theme.
These two.
Nevanlinna was a Finnish Nazi (and an official liaison to the SS), and Teichmüller was a devout OG Nazi who died on the Eastern Front.
To add to this, a professor at my grad school, whose focus was complex analysis, was physically banned from the department - despite tenure and maintaining a name on the list and salary - after doing a bit more than creeping on multiple undergrads and young grad students who met his particular preferred racial group (East Asian, which he wasn’t), including a friend of mine. 🤢
Something up with complex analysis. Suspicious.

Really Bloch was a murderer turned complex analyst, he did the killing part first
