MOZART MYSTERY


BANZAI7 NEWS-- The death of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at the age of 35 may have been caused by complications stemming from strep throat, according to a Dutch study published on Monday. Since the composer's death in 1791, there have been various theories about the cause of his untimely end, from intentional poisoning, to rheumatic fever, to herpes simplex, to the diminished scale, to trichinosis, a parasitic disease caused by eating raw or undercooked pork.

On his death certificate it was officially recorded that the cause of death was Hitziges Top40, or "kielbasa fever," referring to a form of Polka music.
