Marie curie wasn’t really an inventor. She was a scientist discovering new physics… which turned out to be dangerous. She died likely due to lacking safety precautions people didn’t know were needed since radioactivity is harmful mainly in the long-term. Even then she lived a reasonably long time.
Well, the segway guy, Dean Kamen, is alive. The owner of the company or something like that died though.
So having removed one, I’ll add in the guy that made leaded gas.
A British businessman purchased Segway in 2009, and in 2010 accidentally reversed off a cliff while walking his dog by the ocean, and died.
Nobody mentioned Marie Curie yet?
