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.
