He was on a collage campus and this random dude came up to him and said, " Everyone says you can take lots of pain to the abdomen," Harry was tired so he sort of nodded and this guy started punching him and ruptured his appendix. Harry died of his ruptured appendix.

What happened to the guy who punched Harry Houdini?

Many guys punched Harry Houdini, it was a common Houdini stunt that he frequently invited people to do to demonstrate how he could not be hurt. Nothing happened to any of them as Houdini wanted them to punch him. If you mean the guy that caught Houdini by surprise before he could prepare as he needed to for this to prevent injury, probably contributing to the ruptured appendix that killed Houdini a couple weeks later - nothing. He likely suffered from self imposed guilt though. Remember, Harry Houdini's act involved inviting punishment and potential injury and appearing to be unaffected!


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.


How did houdini die?

Harry Houdini died in great pain. What happened was...On October 20th, 1926, Harry had been visiting McGill University. A kid decided to sketch Houdini and Houdini invited him to his dressing room. The kid brought along his friend and were in the middle of sketching him when there was a knock on the door. A young man came in and started questioning Houdini about his stength. Houdini answered and later on, the man unexpectdly started delivering hard blows to Houdini's stomach.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.

Did Houdini die of a trick?

Houdini used to do this act where he would flex his muscles and he would get someone from the audience to come and punch him. Well after one of his shows a guy surprised him and punched him in the stomach without him flexing. Houdini was severely winded but recovered enough to offer to repeat the attempt; the punch bounced off his flexed muscles. However, later Houdini was taken ill and later died of a burst appendix.
