How did houdini die?

Answer 1

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. On Halloween, Harry died

It 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.

Just to get the story straight, don't blame Whitehead for Houdini's Death.

And maybe he doesn't want to tell the doctor because the other people will think he is not stronger then Whitehead.He couldve also died because he was in New York (as so ive heard)and he was doing a trick where he was in a metal box filled with water and something went wrong to where he couldn't get out.And so he drowned.R.I.P Houdini.
