Harry Houdini: People
built 662 days ago
Some people have suggested the possibility that Houdini died of poison. There is evidence suggesting that one or more supporters of the Spiritualists murdered Houdini, possibly by poisoning his food with arsenic or another deadly substance. In 2007, some of Houdini's descendants and several notable forensic pathologists tried to gain permission to exhume Houdini's remains and search for evidence of poisoning. Dr. Michael Baden, who chaired panels re-investigating the deaths of President John F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., pointed out an oddity in Houdini's death certificate: It noted that his appendix was on the left side, rather than the right.[25]

Houdini was small, standing a mere 5'5", with dark, wavy hair, dark gray eyes and a high-pitched voice. Like many people in his day (especially those from immigrant families), Houdini was poorly educated. He was... extremely athletic and highly motivated to succeed.

It was at this point that his friend Houdini appeared. Insisting that Rohmer couldn't stay in the hotel room for days on end, Houdini forced Rohmer to leave the hotel to relax and get away from it all. He introduced him to people he knew, had parties for him, and even had him for Thanksgiving dinner, an occassion on which Rohmer tells us he wore "a tweed suit over pyjamas, for he would take no refusal." Meanwhile, Rohmer was no closer to a solution--until, he tells us, Houdini came "to the rescue."
