Well now I wanna know what killed him.
*He was sick with fever for a week (possibly typhoid), started to feel better, suddenly ate a bunch and downed some wine, then died pretty quickly afterwards. Ruptured ulcers from the typhoid and eating a bunch? Had some other illness? Poison? Coincidentally had an aneurysm?
Well no one knows for sure.
