Ernest Hemingway lived through anthrax, malaria, pneumonia, dysentery, skin cancer, hepatitis, anemia, diabetes, high blood pressure, two plane crashes, a ruptured kidney, a ruptured spleen, a ruptured liver, a crushed vertebra, and a fractured skull.
In the end, however, his memory was wiped clean by electro-shock therapy at the Mayo Clinic, where he was sent for depression.
Rather than relieve the depression, the electro-shock seemed to deepen it by removing most of his memories.
Hemingway killed himself with a shotgun blast in July of 1961. He was only 61.
