The Mysterious Death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
A 1994 article in Neurology suggests Mozart died of a subdural hematoma
A 1994 article in Neurology suggests that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died of a subdural hematoma, a type of brain injury that can occur when blood collects between the brain and the skull. The article's authors based their theory on the fact that Mozart had a history of head injuries, and that he died relatively suddenly at the age of 35.
Other theories about Mozart's death range from kidney disease to vitamin D deficiency
However, other theories about Mozart's death have also been proposed. Some researchers believe that he may have died of kidney disease, as he had been suffering from kidney problems for several years. Others believe that he may have died of vitamin D deficiency, as he had been living in a time and place where sunlight exposure was limited.
The true cause of Mozart's death may never be known for certain, but the various theories that have been proposed provide a fascinating glimpse into the life and death of one of the world's greatest composers.
