Inventors killed by their own inventions
She did invent a process to isolate radium. But if you want to put it this way, nobody never invented anything, even a plane is just about manipulating things that always existed in the environment.

What about all of the inventors of the atom/hydrogen bombs? Feynman?

Planes did not exist before humans built them. Radium did.

Radium existed but not isolated and not usable for X-Ray for example. Plane was in nature also before humans, just not assembled yet :)

I don't think we agree on the definition of "plane" :)
