Albert Einstein died on the 17th of April in the year 1955 when he was 76 years old. The cause of death is said to be internal bleeding that was caused by the rupturing of the Aorta, a condition called aortic aneurysm in medical terminology. This was not totally unexpected because he had been already diagnosed before. He was preparing a speech that he had to give but he could not live to complete it because he was taken to the hospital. He died in the Princeton Hospital. He was not buried, his body was cremated and his ashes were scattered. One peculiar thing was that the doctor at the hospital, Thomas Stoltz Harvey removed his brain to preserve it.
Ruptured Abdominal Aorta on April 18th (early morning), not 17th as stated above. For months he knew he had the aneurysm but chose not to have doctors operate. He knew it was a ticking time bomb. At autopsy doctors determined surgery likely would NOT have helped. Early in the morning at the hospital, he mumbled something briefly out loud (in German) while the nurse was out of the hospital room in the early hours of the 18th. His nurse heard this and came into the room but but had not understood what he said (since it was in German). Later when he died, his body was immediately cremated (per his wishes). It is said his ashes were scattered at the Institute for Advanced Study (where he worked), but he wanted the location kept a secret. He did not want any one place to become a shrine for him. -Greg Mallon
Ok no one really knows how albert einstein died but all we know is only GOD knows and when we die we'll know how we die and maybe some other people will make up a rumor about how you died that isn't a true story of how you died and when they die and you see them in heaven you'll tell them how you died and the ones who started a rumor might not make it to heaven because the told a LIE. :) please leave a comment after this
