what happened to oppenheimer

J. Robert Oppenheimer passed away from throat cancer on February 18, 1967. He was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1965. In 1953, he was denied security clearance and lost his position with the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) due to an investigation into his left-wing associations in the past. This caused a significant change in his personality, and much of his previous spirit and liveliness had left him. In 2022, the federal government vacated the 1954 revocation of Oppenheimers security clearance.
