Times Discuss 118 Possible Causes Of Mozart's Death
The N.Y. Times has an interesting story up discussing Mozart's death, which is still technically a mystery. But that hasn't stopped hundreds of people from basically deciding what killed Mozart without much evidence: According to the Times, there are at least 118 posited cases of death for Mozart. Which is insane.
Closset diagnosed Mozart’s ailment as acute miliary fever, which is more a description than a disease, miliary being a term used to describe millet-sized pustules — effectively, a rash. It was put down as the official cause of death in the records of St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. Mozart’s body was buried, without marking, in a common grave, according to the typical practice of the day for the Viennese middle class, ensuring that no remains that are indisputedly his are available for testing.
It's an interesting read. Peep it here.
