There has been some public note of the similarity between the suicide of Chris McKinstry and that of Push Singh another AI Researcher a couple months later. Both of their AI projects, Mckinstry's Mindpixel project and Singh's MIT Institutionally backed Open Mind Common Sense, had had similar trajectories over the last six years. (Wired News) Both McKinstry and Singh were Canadians at some point (although Singh was born in India) of approximately the same age who had been in contact over the years in the same AI communities (AI Usenet 2000) regarding their similar projects. Both were heterodox AI researchers who were pursuing closely themed endeavors and beta software projects. (For a few online comparisons See Streeb-Greebling,KurzweilAInet,Soup)
