Napoleon’s Fat–er, Fate 1
Researchers investigate the waistline. Girth may clear up hysterical historical mystery:
The pants investigation showed that the emperor had lost some of his girth over the years, Genta said.
All in all, the team determined that in the six months before his death, Napoleon’s weight had dropped by as much as 33 pounds. Significant weight loss is common with stomach cancer.
In all likelihood, Napoleon had a Helicobacter pylori infection, a bacterial infection in the stomach that can lead to gastric cancer, Genta said.
His team’s analysis of the autopsy report also showed an absence of medical signs that are consistent with arsenic poisoning, including lack of hemorrhage in the heart.
