My first guess was Alan Mathison Turing, born 23 June 1912,
who died due to cyanide contamination on an apple he was eating.

Newton's Day is December 25, the date of his birth in 1642.
What I'd really like is one of the clones of "his" apple tree.
I hear they've been distributed far and wide, and are growing
all over the world.
