Excerpt from an article about a biologist who advocated Lamarkian inheritance and who committed suicide after being accused in forging scientific evidence
Let's look at the evidence:
First, the apparent forgery was not the only reason that he committed suicide. He apparently was very depressed before the controversy started. For example,
Kammerer was in deep financial trouble at the time. He was forced to accept a position offered to him by Moscow University.
He had been involved in a love affair at the time (he had many). The woman apparently told him just prior to his death that she would not follow him to Moscow.
