I'm pretty sure he didn't want to die, or die like that. From the article it mentioned side-effects of anti-malaria medication, and while I've never had any anti-malaria medication I've heard that shiat is a trip. A friend of mine in university, whose father worked for the UN, claimed that every year at regular intervals her father turned the family out of the home and went crazy for a few days.
Sikhs are gentle in peace, but under duress they are great fighters. Even being gentle, their abilities can sometimes get the better of them. This is just a sad thing all around.

Dr Sivia told the inquest he initially thought Professor Rawlings was playing dead and believed "goodbye cruel world" was a reference to a Pink Floyd song they had been listening to earlier in the day.
"I thought this might be a ploy to get me to release him because it was so melodramatic," he told the inquest.
But when he realised he was not getting up he then emailed the professor's wife to apologise for killing him.
Mrs Rawlings said: "At 2230 I got an email from Devinder saying, 'I'm terribly sorry but I've killed him, sorry Devinder'.
"I couldn't believe he was serious, neither of them were practical jokers but I was tired and had jet lag."

Couple of things. One; poor mathematician! It's pretty clear he didn't intend to kill the astrophysicist.
Two; I didn't realize mathematicians were so badass. I like it. Astrophysicists better step off.

Yet somehow that xkcd missed Philosophy, which would be to the right of the mathematician.
Applied Philosophy = Science.
