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.
But it was a bullet to the head by his own hand that finally got the job done.

" records at the Mayo, which indicated that the combination of medications given to Hemingway may have created the depressive state for which he was treated.......from there he was returned to the Mayo Clinic for more electroshock treatments...
Hemingway's behavior during his final years had been similar to that of his father's before he killed himself;[158] his father may have had the genetic disease hemochromatosis, due to which the inability to metabolize iron culminates in mental and physical deterioration.[159] Medical records made available in 1991 confirm that Hemingway had been diagnosed with hemochromatosis in early 1961.[160] His sister Ursula and his brother Leicester also killed themselves.[161] In addition to being affected by his physical ailments, Hemingway's health was compromised by his having been a heavy drinker for most of his life."[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 10-22-2018).]
