He suffered from a mental health disease called syphillis so he was a bit crazy. He sent his lobe to a prostitute called Rachel that worked in a brothel, sealed up in an envelope saying the words: "Guard this object carefully" because he was head over heels for her. Following his mental illness, he later on commited suicide at the age of 37 on the 29th of July 1890.
