was murdered Mozart? Drama of a murder
"He knew our warning that we sent Hermes to him ..." (Homer, Odyssey, I: 37-38)
The couple Vincent and Mary Novello visited in 1829, the widow of Mozart and held on this occasion in her diary that Mozart had expressed 6 months before his death, the suspicion that someone had poisoned him. He complained of severe pain in the loins and weakness. To his wife, Mozart said in a Prater ride, as the chronicler Nissen handed, that he would "certainly" given poison.
in July 1791, Mozart suffered from a "dread messenger" that gives him at a requiem in order - a funeral mass. The messenger turned gray after Mozart's death as a servant of the Count Walsegg out of the work of Mozart was incognito in order to get it later listed as his own.
During his stay in Prague 1791 - for the performance of Titus - Mozart is weak and sickly. In a letter to Da Ponte, he writes that his head low and scattered it, and the image "of this unknown" does not want to dodge his head, "on the other hand, I have to shake off anything. I feel it and need no proof, the hour beats ".
suffers in the final weeks before Mozart's death, those from dizziness and hallucinations, it must vomit frequently, as is clear from numerous documents, for example, from a letter of apology from the lodge (Mozart Masonic) was: "Dear brother, now it is one hour. that I came home - and Although with a severe headache and stomach cramp afflicted, - and I always hope for improvement - but unfortunately I feel the opposite, I see clearly that I am not destined to attend today's ceremony first, and please, dear Brother, I therefore apologize to the spot perfectly. (...)". Mozart is attacked by an inexplicable cold, which it will not leave until his death.
The actual death battle started 2 weeks before his actual death. Mozart can not leave the bed. The body is bloated and the stiffness of the body leads to repeated vomiting into a "heated miliary fever." Mozart's death seen with an open mind, until the awkward treatment of a doctor (through a vein and cold packs) falls into BewuĆtlosikeit. The legend wants that aufpustet Mozart in his last minute, the cheeks and imitating the trumpets of the Dies Irae of his requiem - in which he, too, according to legend, until shortly before his death was working on. Today's sources know, however, report that the Requiem was first performed well before his death.
Mozart's body stands out with swelling and post-mortem on 6 December without autopsy in the Crucifix Chapel of St. Stephen's Church consecrated and allegedly buried in the cemetery of St. Marx. There are no witnesses who, due to bad weather (snow and rain) the funeral stayed away - now it is offset by the meteorological records of Count Zinzendorf as established that during the funeral of Mozart's neither rain, nor snow have prevailed. The grave was not marked.
The suspected causes for the death of Mozart's cause of meningitis on rheumatic inflammatory fever, to heart failure. The thesis of a poisoning with mercury is after considering the circumstances of his death but also well within the bounds of possibility - but who was the murderer?
