Yeah, I was thinking about similar themes some days ago. My reference was Galois, a very young genius of the field. After single-handedly inventing group theory, he died. At 20. In a duel. Over a girl (allegedly).

Or Ramanujan. Died because he refused to eat healthily.

There are many examples of geniuses that died early, and had not the time to contribute much more to humanity, usually over silly things.
