Can someone explain to me about the nature of Mozart's death. Was there any speculation that he was poisoned? As I understood, he also had an nemesis who was Antonio Saliere. I am fascinated by medical history and forensics, too.
No one knows for sure, and his body was buried in a mass pauper's grave, so it's impossible to exhume to do any studies. There is a lot of speculation about poisoning, different ailments, murder, etc. His rivalry with Saliere was pretty exaggerated for the movie "Amadeus", though.....but then again, I wasn't there.....:) If you've never seen the movie, though, you should, the costumes alone are fabulous, and the movie itself is pretty captivating.
