Houdini died from a ruptured appendix. There is some speculation that he was hit by J. Gorden Whitehead in a dressing room incident where Houdini was not given time to tighten his abdominal muscles in time for a blow. See the Related Link below for further information.

Why did J Gordon Whitehead punch Houdini?

Whitehead asked Houdini if he could take multiple punches without injury but Whitehead didn't give Houdini time to prepare and accidentally killed him.Later on it was said that Houdini had ruptured appendix. Harry had serious pain in his stomach but put it off and refused to see a doctor. On Halloween, Harry diedIt is not one hundred percent sure that the young man, Jocelyn Gordon Whitehead, had killed Houdini. It is said that is was an accident and Houdini was already suffering from appendix. If Whitehead hadn't punched Houdini (A witness, the sketchers friend, said about 5 times but after the 3rd or 4th one he had tried to stop but Whitehead just went ahead) Harry might've considered going to a doctor... but he didn't and later on died.
