SAN JOSE – It reads like the plot of a“CSI” episode: A forensic scientistshoots a laser beam into a lock of

But this wasn’t just any lock of hair.It belonged to Ludwig van Beethoven.And lately, all roads leading from

Beethoven’s locks of hair to a forensicslab in Vienna, Austria, run straightthrough San Jose.

shot into two strands of Beethoven’shair to vaporize it. The resulting vaporwas then analyzed with a mass spec-trograph for traces of heavy metals.This new method allows a detailed lookat what was being introduced intoBeethoven’s body in the last 111 days ofhis life.

That’s because hair acts like a biologi-cal chronometer. The accumulation ofmetals in the human body appears asmicroscopic markers, or “spikes,” asthe hair grows out from the root.

In Beethoven’s last 111 days, a pat-tern of elevated lead spikes appears.Those, Reiter contends, correspondwith the dates of the “lead salt” treat-ments by Wawruch.

“Those lead salts were commonlyused at the time for medical purposes,as a remedy for pneumonia,” Reitersaid.

That type of treatment was consid-ered risky, very much like certain radio-logical and chemotherapy treatmentsare today.

“The therapeutic toxicity was wellknown, but the alternatives were moredreaded,” he said.

If Reiter’s findings are conclusive, itappears that Beethoven’s fate wasdoomed by nothing more than themedical shortcomings of his physician.

The provenance of the hair datesto 1827 when 15-year-old Ferdi-nand Hiller’s music teacher

brought him to visit Beethoven threetimes before the composer’s death.Hiller cut off a lock of the composer’shair on his last visit – a not-too-unusualact given Beethoven’s fame and the

popularity of hair lockets in Europe atthe time.

The locks were secretly handed downfrom generation to generation of theHiller family. They surfaced first in1943 when they were given to a Danishdoctor as payment for medical treat-ment for Jews escaping the clutches ofthe Nazis during World War II.

The locks resurfaced in 1984 in Lon-don, when they appeared for auction atSotheby’s.

Four members of the AmericanBeethoven Society purchased the 582

strands of hair for $7,300. Of the 582strands, 422 were offered to be housedat the center in San Jose. They are nowkept in a black oval locket. The remain-ing hairs, 160 of them, belong to Dr.Alfredo Guevara, a urologist from Ari-zona who made the largest contributionto the Sotheby’s purchase. Guevara hasstipulated that those strands are to beset aside for research purposes.

Those research purposes honorBeethoven’s “Heilgenstadt Testament,”a document that he wrote 25 yearsbefore his death. That testament noted

Beethoven’s desire that posterity findthe cause of his deafness. It triggered anautopsy on his body and also the volu-minous gathering of his long and wavylocks of hair. It is certain thatBeethoven had no idea that his testa-ment would result in pieces of his bodybeing kept in several locations spreadaround the world.

“It’s possible that by the timeBeethoven was lying in state, in hisapartment, that all of the hair that peo-ple could see was cut off his head,”Meredith said.

Reiter’s research piggybacks workdone on other strands of hair and piecesof Beethoven’s skull in 2000 at the U.S.Department of Energy’s particle acceler-ator at the Argonne lab in Illinois. Thatresearch established that Beethovenhad extremely high levels of lead in hisbody at the time of his death – as muchas 80 times the normal load.

Dr. Bill Walsh was in charge oftesting Beethoven’s skull frag-ments at the particle accelera-

tor. He established that the lead inBeethoven’s bones had accumulatedover many years.

“This is important new information,”said Walsh, who nonetheless ap-proaches Reiter’s findings with caution.

“I agree that Dr. Wawruch’s medi-cines may have caused the spikes oflead concentration in Beethoven’shair,” Walsh said. “However, there’s noway to determine whether the lead mayhave been in the medicines themselves,or whether the medicines caused anincreased rate of departure of ‘old’lead.”

Elevated lead contents also could

have come from other sources, Walshsaid. Beethoven was known to be fondof sweet wines, whose acidity often wascut by unscrupulous winemakers byintroducing lead as a sweetener.

Also, it was not uncommon for physi-cians to prescribe lead pills for themany kinds of ailments that afflictedBeethoven throughout his life, theworst of which was chronic and debili-tating colic.

The actual cause of Beethoven’sdeath and the reason for his deafnessmay never be completely identified,despite advances in forensic technolo-gy.

“Science has advanced so much sinceBeethoven’s day that we can say nowthat doctors at the time were not evenaware what was killing him,” Meredithsaid.
