gradually robbing him of his ability to move, speak and breath,
Did they have a breathing machine back then?
Because if you can’t breathe, you are dead within minutes.

Thirty two pints of wine in two days. Four gallons? World class boozer.

One can only hope he was in a coma before the purging of fluids did begin.
Assuming this is not an exaggeration or matter of folklore,
that level of alcohol consumption; 12 pints in one night, followed by 12 MORE pints the next day; would be considered severely alcoholic today. Just by that, he may have weakened his immune system just enough to let some corrosive condition or debilitating bacteria flourish and then take over the body.

I always enjoy British articles that use the word “boffin.”

All this just to support Justice Scalia’s phone-in autopsy?

WHY ISN’T THIS IN BREAKING NEWS???
To: Red Badger
Certainly there are autoimmune diseases capable of this that strike in adulthood - neuromyelitis optica for one. I have a good friend who woke up paralyzed one horrifying morning and thank God her husband called 911 in time. Whether Big Al was a sufferer was, of course, beyond the medical science of the time to determine.
No Greek of the time would have drunk himself to death with that amount of wine - they watered theirs. But the Macedonians drank it straight, so maybe.

At the time, doctors didn't use your pulse to check if you were still alive, instead looking for signs you were still breathing. Rubbish. Ancient Chinese doctors not only checked a patient's pulse, they diagnosed underlying illness based on the quality of the pulse.

Doesn’t ring true to me. He would have been warm to the touch.
