As the saying goes, "the disease comes in from the mouth, the disaster comes out of the mouth", there are not a few people in history who have caused accidents because of a mouth, and there are countless people who have died because of "eating", let's take a look at the seven celebrities in the history of the world who died because of "eating".
King Adolf of Sweden. Frederick
The first was King Adolf of Sweden. Frederick, the uncle of the famous Russian Tsarina Catherine II, was King of Sweden from 1751 to 1771, and during his twenty years of reign, Frederick did not have much to achieve, during his reign the state power was completely controlled by the parliament, and the parliament was also plagued by factional struggles, so frederick as king frederick was not even second-rate, but as a foodie he was absolutely first-class. On 12 February 1771, the Swedish king died suddenly after eating lobster, caviar, sauerkraut, smoked salmon, champagne and 14 desserts, so he was jokingly called "the king who ate himself".
King Henry I of England
The second is Henry I, and the Adolf above. Like Frederick, Henry I was also a king, the third King of England in the Norman dynasty, the youngest son of William I the Conqueror, who became the new King of England after the mysterious death of William II in 1100 until his death in 1135. However, henry I is commendable compared to the above-mentioned king who ate himself to death, he consolidated his rule through a series of wars and alliances, so he was called "Henry the Wise", but whether he was really wise or not, he was undoubtedly a man who could not keep his mouth shut, and on December 1, 1135, Henry I, who had been ill for a long time, died violently after eating a large number of lampreys (a high-grade food enjoyed by the nobles since the Middle Ages in Europe) despite the objections of doctors.

Taylor, american politician and military scientist, is a general with a military career of forty years, has been stationed in the frontier positions for a long time, in the 1846 United States war against Mexico he led the troops to participate in the war, repeatedly won, achieved brilliant victories, so he was called "the biggest hero", "the top of the big old man", became the hero of the United States, in 1848 Zachary. Taylor ascended to the presidency with the help of the Whig Party and became the twelfth president of the United States, but his political achievements were unbearable compared to his military achievements, and because he had no previous political experience and the intricate struggles between the various political parties, Taylor died of illness only sixteen months after taking office. On July 4, 1850, after participating in the celebration of Independence Day in the United States, the president drank a pot of ice milk and ate a large plate of cherries to cool down, and his abdomen began to ache that night, and he died in the White House 5 days later.
Author of the novel Vanity Fair Thackeray
The fourth is william W. Bush, author of the novel Vanity Fair. Mekobis. Thackeray, the only son of the family, left a rich legacy after the death of his father, who had worked for the East India Company, so Thackray had enough money to travel around and participate in all the social activities he liked, but soon he squandered the legacy left by his father, and in desperation he came to the Times as an employment man and wrote for some magazines, Vanity Fair, which he wrote while working at Snob, which was his first novel. Considered a masterpiece of the world before the novel was fully published, he became a novelist with the same name as Dickens.

Pork chop flavor! What a good smell, I'm going to eat it and wish you good health", Mozart died 45 days after writing the letter, coinciding with the incubation period of trichinellosis.

In order for his son to become a talent, Fouad sent Farouk to England for further study, but unfortunately Farouq did not learn any skills, spent his days hunting and gambling with the children of the nobility, and also had improper relations with more than a dozen women, but these were not enough to prevent him from ascending to the throne of Egypt, and when Fouad I died in 1935, Farouq inherited the throne, along with a hundred million US dollars, 200 cars and 75,000 acres of fertile land.
