Abstract:
George II, the King of England, died from dissecting aneurism of the aorta. Napoleon died from a carcinoma of the stomach. Frederick III, Emperor of Germany, died of a laryngeal cancer; his untimely death, and the succession of his son, Wilhelm II, was largely responsible for the great catastrophe of 1914. An autopsy was performed on each of these three famous and historical figures.
