Marie Curie (1867–1934) invented the process to isolate radium after co-discovering the radioactive elements radium and polonium. She died of aplastic anemia as a result of prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation emanating from her research materials. The dangers of radiation were not well understood at the time

her belongings are still encased in lead boxes

In 1962 this joker was about to go on trial for armed robbery, so instead he took out a life insurance policy for his daughter, and brought sticks of dynamite onto his plane and blew it up over Iowa.
