The latest research shows that Beethoven was poisoned with lead during his lifetime. The famous German composer Beethoven was plagued by illness during his lifetime. A new study shows high levels of lead in Beethoven's hair, suggesting that the composer had lead poisoning during his lifetime. This may be the reason why he suffered from deafness and other ailments throughout his life. Researchers from Harvard Medical School and other institutions in the United States recently pointed out in an article published in the American journal "Clinical Chemistry" that the lead content in two separate and identified Beethoven hair is very high. The "Bellman sample" contained 64 times the lead content at the upper limit of the reference interval, and the "Halm-Tell sample" was as high as 95 times. The latest findings also show that arsenic and mercury remain in the composer's hair nearly 200 years after his death.
