Abstract

Exploring several hundred
composer’s patographies, we found poisoning
as a cause of death in 11 composers.
Generally, those were murders by poisoning.
We also found some accidental food
poisonings. All those cases of poisoning
caused a sudden ending of their creativity,
and were the most common cause of death
of composers in early age of life.

Keywords
