Famous Composer May Have Died From Strep Throat
August 18, 2009

Boston (DbTechNo) - New evidence suggests that Mozart, one of the most influential composers in history may have actually died from strep throat.
This is the finding of a study by researchers who analyzed death records before, during and after his death back in 1791.
According to the majority of historians, Mozart was killed when he was 35 years old by his rival Antonio Salieri.
Results of this new study beg to differ however and indicate that Mozart was one of the unlucky ones living in 18th century Vienna, when an outbreak of streptococcus emerged.
Writing in the Annals of Internal Medicine the researchers say that their evidence, mainly notes from Mozart’s sister-in-law suggest that he died while exhibiting symptoms of strep.
Luckily nowadays, there are antibiotics available to treat strep infections.

“According to the majority of historians, Mozart was killed when he was 35 years old by his rival Antonio Salieri.”
Just where did you get this misinformation. According to the majority of historians it is a baseless malicious rumour started by a group of Mozart’s nationalistic friends and acquaintances who wanted to increase the influence of German composers and decrease that of the Italians who were in Vienna at the time. Do some research other than watching a movie.
