No one knows for certain because many of the people who died from venereal disease, aka sexually transmitted illness, kept it covered up and the doctors claimed they died from something else. A lot of people died from syphilis, until Dr. Paul Enrich invented his 'magic' bullet; penicillin which is used to treat syphilis and gonorrhea.
