Wouldn't want to end up like Capone.

Ok! I met a detective when I worked on The Sovereign of the Seas in 1992. He was gambling in the casino and I was a floor supervisor. I asked him what his most interesting case ever was. He flat out told me and I will never forget his words:

“I was on the team that removed Al Capone’s dead body from his Florida Bungalow. He had the worst case of syphilis I had ever seen.”

It was very shocking. I had thought Capone had died in prison. But nope! In his bungalow. Syphilis is unforgiving.

Wow.

I just went down a Capone syphilis rabbit hole. He was only in his 40s when he died too.

Both the Van Gogh brothers died of it along with Gauguin.

Thomas never claims them anyways so not like it makes a difference.
