Listen "Unsolved: Was Mozart Poisoned?"
Episode Synopsis
A Genius Dead at 35- But Was It Murder? Mozart's final days were filled with illness, mystery... and a haunting suspicion: Did someone kill the world's greatest composer? In this episode of History Shorts, we dissect the theories—rivalry, jealousy, secret societies—and explore what modern science says about his sudden death. Could Antonio Salieri really be the villain history (and Hollywood) made him out to be? What do toxicology clues and contemporary letters reveal? "He said he was being poisoned. Was he right?"
