Takeda's Answer

That can be challenged. The symptoms documented describe rheumatic fever, kidney failure (took mercury and drank heavily, remember that), or even poisoning (Salieri confessed in front of a court to killing Mozart 4 times; whether or not he did it with wearing him out or actually physically killing him is up to a medical examiner to decide).

Mozart suffered from smallpox, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, typhoid fever, and gum disease at one point or another in his life, occasionally suffering TWICE from the same illness.

So, it was either murder, an accident, or a disease.

Seems more likely, to me, that he drank himself to death and also poisoned himself with the doses of mercury prescribed during that era as medicine.

As a final note, during the last few hours of his life, Mozart's condition was reported to have involved swollen hands and feet, sudden and violent vomiting, and then a complete loss of consciousness.
