The letters, which Aetna said were sent to approximately 12,000 people, were meant to relay a change in pharmacy benefits. Text visible through a small window on the envelopes listed the patients’ names and suggested a change in how they would fill the prescription for their treatment for [HIV].

Hard to say about him being murdered by the state, especially since it happened 2 years after the conviction and sentence. (why wait so long? why kill him in the first place?) Since he died from cyanide inhalation and there was a source of cyanide literally in the same small room with him means that while cyanide poisoning/murder would be obvious in other circumstances, in his specific circumstances accidental death seems more likely.

But obviously I'm not taking into account the geo-political realities of early 1950's UK, so who knows, maybe MI6 decided that his homosexuality and knowledge of UK encryption was a liability against he Soviet Union?

To be clear I meant it as "tortured by the state through forced chemical castration and humiliation, until he was so hosed up mentally he killed himself", not that they literally sent assassins after him.

it's speculated that he died of cyanide inhalation from his little gold plating thingo even tho the Apple was nearby but I would be willing to bet he huffed them on purpose

For sure on the castration, But I wasn't disputing that, I was questioning whether his death was intentional or not.

The point is that even if a dude from MI6 didn't literally cause his heart to stop he probably wouldn't have died the way he died if the state hadn't completely hosed him.
