For the milk barrel trick...if they close the curtain couldn't someone just come with like...1890s jaws of life and snip the padlocks off. Then replace them? Or...trap door underneath the barrel? Floor drops out beneath him along with the water. He climbs up from under the stage

Harry's father's name was not Herman. It was Samuel. His brother's name was Herman. It says so right on the front of Houdini's family headstone. Proof: www.findagrave.com/memorial/13204256/mayer-samuel-weiss

Honestly my personal theory is that the punch DID do some damage as I have picked up that a single punch can kill someone if you hit them in the right place. But besides that I think that the hospital never fully treated the injury’s and he either died of that or from an unlucky turn of events such as , a heart attack, medical condition ect. 1 more theory I have is that maybe while he still had his injuries he might have fallen over or tripped making the pain unbearable and then slowly dying for another day or 2. ( Sorry that some parts may not have made sense) That’s just my opinion please don’t take it personally!

He waited too late to get to a hospital. My grandfather died of the same exact thing before I was born. His appendix burst and the doctor waited too late to open him up. Gangrene had already set in. All they could do is close him back up and make him comfortable....it’s terrible. But it does happen more often than you think!

If Houdini was in fact murdered, could it have been done on one of the trains he was riding? He could have been poisoned there. I thought this after watching the video 10 times.

He died of appendicitis. I think any other theory about it is because people hear the name Harry Houdini and want to believe he died in a really fantastical way.

MD here...It sounds like he died of appendicitis. It's possible he had developing or mild appendicitis already and then this med student punching him could have caused his fragile, inflammed appendix to rupture, which could have rapidly worsened his condition...or it could have just been bad luck/timing with the punches and the appendicitis. It sounds like in the OR, they found him with a ruptured appendicitis, but that would have happened without trauma anyway if he was ignoring his symptoms. Thanks for the show, I didn't realize that's how Houdini had passed away!

soooo houdini copied other magicians and improve on their tricks but he doesn't like it when other people try to copy HIS tricks? *cough!hypocritecough!* I can see where he'd get enemies. someone comes up to harry, asks if he could punch him in the stomach and he says "YES"?!?! WTF?! and seriously, "whitehead"??? *snicker* lol, more lol, lmao I bet he was a real eye sore XD lol he definitely made houdini sore XD that guy should have been arrested for assault . I don't care that he "had permission " to punch harry. you don't go around punching people, your still guilty because you committed the act of harming someone, with the intent to cause harm. also, I thought houdini died during a performance. doing an escape trick involving a water tank.
