#postmortem if you had to be murdered, how would you want to be murdered? OR if you could be murdered by any serial killer which serial killer would you want to kill you?
Fun fact! Arthur Conan Doyle would have HATED to be called "the author of Sherlock Holmes" because he actually wanted to be known for his romance novels, which were poorly received and actually quite bad. He even tried to end the series by killing Sherlock, but the British masses were extremely upset by it. People genuinely mourned the character and took to wearing black arm bands as a symbol of mourning and protest of his death. Ultimately Doyle caved and brought Sherlock back to life
That happens all the time. People work hard on the things they want to be known for. Then some little thing they don’t care about and do for fun, that’s what gets them famous. I’m pretty sure that AA Milne (who wrote Winnie The Pooh) and Beatrix Potter worked in scientific research but then wrote books for their kids one day and that’s what got them famous.
The reason he exposed spiritualists and side-show performers was because they deceive the audience by not telling them it’s a trick. A magician tells you that they’re lying to you, and then they do the trick. The side-show performers tell you that they have superhuman/supernatural abilities when they really don’t.
sword swallowers do literally swallow swords though. like, thats an ability that is built up and trained for and takes years of methodology thats been passed down for centuries. of all the sideshow performers to expose, those ones is just petty.
@@alexkilgore7329 Houdini was exposing the performers who "cheat" their tricks. He claimed that some sword swallowers swallowed a metal sheath/tube before doing the actual trick. So, I can see why he would expose those people, as they were deliberately deceiving people.
Who else thinks there should be an episode where Ryan and Shane “swap roles”, Shane researches and presents an unsolved case of his choice in the same format as Ryan
@16:10 Ryan missed the point there, Houdini didn't go after every side-show magician, he went after only the ones who claimed they are doing miracles. Houdini believed tricks are meant for entertainment, not for luring vulnerable people and making money out of them.
I agree. Ig Ryan confused it with him trying to get revenge or something, which wasn't true. He himself proclaimed that all he did was trick, nd said the same for every other person doing it. I agree with Houdini tbh. Plus he exposing the side tricks is his choice. As Shane said, if someone has th power to do that to him, they can do it, Houdini never stopped them from doing that...
Houdini was active against con men and charlatans prior to the Doyles stunt, however he did go on a vendetta to prove ALL spiritualism was fake and no more supernatural than anything he did. But there's nothing to suggest that he went after the people who considered themselves entertainers and didn't claim to be supernatural. His crusade is largely why people nowadays don't believe in clairvoyants, mediums, psychics and anyone else that claim supernatural abilities. That crusade and it's result is the definition of vendetta. So Ryan is right about the vendetta but he's wrong that he went after every entertainer.
@@mari_golds-bleeding-ink Yeah, I've always respected Houdini because of that. He knew there were other people who were like he was after the death of his mother, vulnerable and desperate to contact their loved ones, and so he fought to make sure they wouldn't be taken advantage of.
For Postmortem: Ryan talked about what he'd do if he was a ghost. Shane, what would you do if you died and became a ghost? Would you try to prove your existence to Ryan; or stay hidden out of spite to not give him the satisfaction?
Fun fact: In Harry's will he'd given his "chinese water torture cell" to his brother, who was given instructions that it should be burned and destroyed after his death. Instead, his brother sold it off to a collector. In 1995, the Houdini Magical Hall of Fame (where the cell was being displayed) burned to the ground :^)
Demon Shane theory: every time Shane goes into “character” for something. He’s actually summoning a spirit. When he got into character for Houdini, he just summoned Houdini
So... Your saying that Houdini was a skeptic often mistaken for someone supernatural, and friends with Doyle, a believer who often found himself seeking out supernatural occurances? And they were celebrities? Hmm.... I wonder who they remind me of....
This one seems straightforward. As someone who suffered from misdiagnosed appendicitis and then finally got it properly diagnosed after it burst, they put me on antibiotics and couldn't operate because it could have infected more of my system. Sounds like thanks to people like Harry Houdini dying due to a bad medical practice, my life was saved years later from what they learned.
Yea, I think it was just bad medical attention seeing this was 1926. That damn near 100 years ago so they probably tried their best, but did not have the proper equipment or medical knowledge to save his life at the time. Of course I don't know the historical breakthroughs of appendicitis.
Same thing happened to me bud. 3 years ago,my Appendix ruptured and Was leaking Pus. Just from what they learned from Harry Houdini's Death,they could just get the damn appendix outta me. I was 10 3 years ago
This one surprised me, I thought the reason for his death wasn't disputed. I read about it years ago, how he died due to being punched in the stomach and not seeking treatment
@@majolko seeing as it hasn’t even been proven that punching someone in the stomach can cause appendicitis or accelerate the severity of it, it’s probably people who just saw the theory online without researching it and accepted it as fact. Imo, he prob just died because he had a shattered ankle, burst appendix and 104 fever and still didn’t go see a doctor until after a show.

@@QueenHela240 seems weird to waste your time watching two people who are very vocal about their “intersectional leftism” and whose views align with that of buzzfeed.
And he really didn't like Sherlock Holmes. He wanted to be known more for the fantastical stories he wrote, as opposed to the logic locked Holmes. He tried killing Holmes, quitting the Strand and badmouthing the character. But the public wanted Holmes more than dinosaurs
I’m having this weird Mandela effect where I could have SWORN that Houdini died by a failed trick. He couldn’t escape the chains, and he drowned. I had no clue he actually died of sepsis.
Whitehead wasn't just randomly trying to punch him. Houdini had a famous act where he'd allow members of the audience to hit him, and he wouldn't even flinch. He'd tighten his muscles and flex in such a way that it didn't really effect him. So that's what that was likely about.
And rumor is that the person punched him before he was ready. Some rumors saying that it was part of the act, but the guy struck before he was ready, and others that the guy did it outside of the act but because of the act.
Doctor over here. I've never seen appendicitis caused by a trauma, nor is there a "spot" where you hit that can cause appendicitis. It is simply the disruption of the normal flora of bacteria in the appendix causing inflammation. I suspect he had ruptured appendicitis, which has a higher rate of sepsis than the common appendicitis and it did not help that he did not pursue surgery immediately.
We've known it was appendicitis for years. Not sure why NOW people are going "hey, this is suspicious, something else could have happened". Glad a doctor knows what's going on
So you're saying that if an organ breaks then you should go to the hospital to have it repaired? Also this is a question I just came up with but how did they deal with a ruptured appendix before surgery? Was it just a death sentence? Or did people survive it sometimes?
@@GamerGrovyle Theoretically if anything is wrong in your body, there are symptoms that will warrant a clinic/hospital visit. In the case of an appendicitis, the organ will be removed instead of repaired. Good question, I'm not sure how people dealt with ruptured appendix in the past before there was surgery. However, it's important to note that there are many diseases that used to be death sentences (people had very short life expentancies back then) but now have an effective cure, a perfect example of this is tuberculosis.
As I am not a doctor, I only *think* this makes sense.. so I'd be really interested in hearing your opinion on this: Isn't it plausible, that Houdini was killed not by a punch to his appendix, but by a punch to his liver? Especially, say-- if he did have underlying appendicitis that had caused a liver abscess, and the punch then had caused to burst? It's well documented that: a) the liver is easily injured with blunt force blows to the abdomen and b) a ruptured liver abscess would cause sepsis and lead to death. And because he never had an autopsy performed could this not be a possibility that wasn't ruled out? Thank you Dr. Jason if you take the time to read and reply!
The whole story of Houdini makes me realize how much his mentality was present in old school pro wrestling. - Never exposing the business; - Travelling from one place to the other constantly; - Working hurt. Mad bastards, both Houdini and old time wrestlers.
@@orionstar1530 they're not saying wrestling is fake, they're saying Houdini said magic was fake which is exposing the magic business which is the opposite of not exposing the business
For postmortem: Hi, med student here. I imagine most people when punching someone's stomach would go for the belly button (umbilical) area or epigastric area, while the appendix is located in the lower right (right iliac) area. While the punch is unlikely to cause the appendicitis, it's likely that it aggravated the already preexisting appendicitis, causing it to burst. A burst appendicitis is always a worse prognosis, because the bacteria spreads easily in the abdominal cavity, causing other complications. Especially in Houdini's case where he postponed treatment for hours while possibly putting his body under more stress by doing his tricks, it's possible the infection had already entered his bloodstream and was too spread out that he didn't survive. I personally believe there wasn't any murder involved, simply a series of unfortunate events that ended with his untimely demise.
i wanna go into the medical field so I got some questions for u on med school. whats med school like, is it hard? what do u do? do you practice on dummies? whats the funnest part? what sucks the most? was it what u expected? have you taken the mcat yet? is the mcat hard? what are u studying for?
It’s crazy that the great magician Houdini was the staunch rationalist who wanted to expose the fraud of spiritualism, but spiritualism’s biggest champion was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of fiction’s most powerful rationalist.
The fact that this man did a whole show with acute appendicitis is amazing...appendicitis is extremely painful and even walking or doing any normal activity is quite painful....
I feel like Houdini’s death isn’t so much unsolved as are his tricks. He guarded the secrets very well and literally took them to the grave. I think his death was appendicitis and the punches may have accelerated his condition if it was already on the verge of bursting. He didn’t seem like one to complain of ailments.
I hate to say it but i feel like buzzfeed is just running out of mysteries. Really all if not most of the stories here are in the US and Europe or western stories. Would love to see more from other countries especially Japan, they have so many creepy supernatural and true crime stories.
True, there's no true mystery here, appendicitis punched/unpunched left late before treated would inevitably lead to sepsis... poison doesn't lead to sepsis.
Could also be Shane and Ryan. Ryan/Doyle trying to get Shane/Houdini to believe in the supernatural and Shane/Houdini basically just going “you are absolutely wrong and this is the very long list of reasons why”
@@callmewaves1160 that is usually true, but a medical student should still know that maybe punching someone in the gut multiple times without prep would lead to some problems- curious to know if the dude led a successful medical career or not
He asked him though. If you were being asked to be punched, wouldn't you already be tightening your stomach before you give an answer? It's not like its a 15 minute process he has to go through.
A married couple: creates a code for when death comes upon them Ryan: Cool! Shane we shoudl do that too! Their friendship is just so wonderful. They would still like to communicate in different dimensions.
Maybe if we would all use this knowledge for better we can come up with better physics bc Einstein and Tesla had so much work to do.. we need more people to do this type of research and take it seriously!!
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a great author. But he was a drug addict. It's part of the reason why Sherlock Holmes had a drug problem. Doyle based some of Holmes' personality on himself. Lots of authors do that.
and the: R: “they payed me to go into the magic castle” S: “is that true?” R: “yes!” S: “Ryyaannn.” *dadness ensues* “is that true” R: *quietly* “...no...”

They had worked out a pre-approved code or phrase between them so that after he died if she tried to contact him if someone said they had a message from him she would know if it was true and really him. She never heard the agreed upon code or phrase before her death. Edit: sorry didn't realize they cover this in the last two mins.
Actually, the milk can is done by a special version with an air dome at the top (with the help of displaced water by putting himself in the can) and loose rivets. Modern magicians explained it years ago, so not quite "never solved". But EXTREMELY EXTREMELY impressive for the time
My granddad almost died of appendicitis too. he was teaching a 3hr lecture and was a professor of aerospace engineering, and his appendix ruptured about an hour halfway through. he then both waited to help out some students who were still confused, and then also drove himself to the hospital where all the told the nurse was that he had "mild stomach cramps" and sat in the waiting room for another two hours. when he was finally rushed into surgery, the doctor said that it was "the worst case of appendicitis he had seen in all 30yrs he had been practicing". he survived through and now he's got 15 grandkids and he's still kicking
I lowkey find it kind of sweet that even before being forced to promise, Shane was willing to turn the spirit box on if Ryan died, considering how much Ryan loves the spirit box and how much Shane viscerally HATES it.
Ryan's best magic trick is that he got a guy who doesn't believe in ghosts at all & is in fact, made of demons, to go along on multiple ghost hunting trips on 2 separate TH-cam channels.
A rather obvious possibility seems to have been overlooked: while being punched in the stomach is not likely to *cause* appendicitis, surely that could *worsen* it? It could have been a matter of bad timing: maybe Houdini had an undiagnosed case of appendicitis, overlooked because he wasn't symptomatic yet, and then this baboon punches him in the stomach, and sends the condition into overdrive.
That’s actually a great point, I didn’t think of that. It makes sense that it would make it worse by causing additional damage or just quickening the effects.
I’d think it probably could make it worse. It would at least make the pain worse. You can actually test if it’s appendicitis by pressing hard on the main point of pain for a few seconds, and if it hurts worse when you release it’s your appendix. Also I’d assume if an organ is already ruptured or rupturing and you hit it REALLY hard multiple times it would probably get worse.
For postmortem: one of Houdini's famous tricks was taking punches to the stomach like a champ because he was so yolked that he could just tense his abs and mess up the other guy's hand. it doesn't take very long to do that, and it seems odd that the only guy that managed to hurt him was also a medical student. it's very possible that his fan was sincerely trying to hurt him, either for the chance to say he did or possibly more sinister motivations.
Postmortem: I remember learning about appendicitis back in college. Once it bursts, it sends the infection into your abdominal cavity and the chance of septicemia would have been quite high. And since it was still another 2 years before antibiotics were even discovered, he was pretty much doomed since he waited so long. This case is pretty much an open and shut one for me, even if some people still want to debate it. So glad you guys are back and Happy Halloween🎃
Nope, too big a head, long Icabod limbs. . . ain't tuckin' that in a milk can. . . and never gonna be any skills. Love ya Shane, but no, you are never going to be the new Houdmeister.
I could swear I've heard he passed away during one of his tricks as he was unable to open the chains and locks to escape from the submerged box he was in!
That was actually in a movie with Hugh Jackman called The Prestige- but yeah I’ve seen that one floating around the internet. One theory I’ve heard is that he faked his death so he could be buried alive and somehow escape, but never did. Definitely think the appendicitis is the case here though.
I think this is a Mandela Effect sort of thing, where we hear that a guy who performed these dangerous, death-defying acts, died, we assume that he probably died doing one of them because it's easy to think.
For the post mortem: Yes, an already existing case of appendicitis can be escalated by trauma. It really doesn’t take much for an inflamed appendix to rupture. And being attached to the bowel, a ruptured and untreated appendix is highly susceptible to infection and therefore sepsis. Edit: This was also before the commercial availability of antibiotics, so there was no way to correct the infection or sepsis.
What's incredible about Houdini's performances, is that some of those that we DO understand, involved absolutely **incredible** feats of personal athleticism and body control! He began honing his own body, and his control over it, as a very young person and never stopped.
@@surjozharf Whitehead asking to punch Houdini was not strange at all, as one of his "great feats of strength" acts was to withstand any hit to the stomach. He did a lot of abdominal training, and was well known for his ability to take a hit without reacting.
@@katie-5869 i agree that its not weird to ask because ive actually had it done to me but to do it immediately after the person says yes without giving them time to flex and also punching several times is definitely not standard procedure. Whenever Ive had it done or seen someone else do it the person asks, waits for the person to give the signal that theyre ready, and then punches them once in the stomach as hard as they can
The trick to the milk can escape is well known. The part of the can that the lid was padlocked onto was separate from the can itself. Once the curtain was closed, he would just lift the lid from the inside, climb out, replace the lid and sit there for a while to increase suspense.
Please invest the case of Olof Palme. He was Sweden’s former prime minister. He got shot in the middle of the street and the case is unsolved to this very day

I’m having this weird Mandela effect where I could have SWORN that Houdini died by a failed trick. He couldn’t escape the chains, and he drowned. I had no clue he actually died of sepsis.
Same
I read a book in like elementary school that I honestly think said that..
Ok I’m so glad I’m not alone!!
i think you might be thinking of a different magician?
@@gemmal2271 I thought of that, but when I tried looking it up, I couldn’t find anything. I could have sworn it was Houdini.
Whitehead wasn't just randomly trying to punch him. Houdini had a famous act where he'd allow members of the audience to hit him, and he wouldn't even flinch. He'd tighten his muscles and flex in such a way that it didn't really effect him.
So that's what that was likely about.
And rumor is that the person punched him before he was ready. Some rumors saying that it was part of the act, but the guy struck before he was ready, and others that the guy did it outside of the act but because of the act.
Doctor over here. I've never seen appendicitis caused by a trauma, nor is there a "spot" where you hit that can cause appendicitis. It is simply the disruption of the normal flora of bacteria in the appendix causing inflammation. I suspect he had ruptured appendicitis, which has a higher rate of sepsis than the common appendicitis and it did not help that he did not pursue surgery immediately.
We've known it was appendicitis for years. Not sure why NOW people are going "hey, this is suspicious, something else could have happened". Glad a doctor knows what's going on
So you're saying that if an organ breaks then you should go to the hospital to have it repaired?
Also this is a question I just came up with but how did they deal with a ruptured appendix before surgery? Was it just a death sentence? Or did people survive it sometimes?
@@GamerGrovyle Theoretically if anything is wrong in your body, there are symptoms that will warrant a clinic/hospital visit. In the case of an appendicitis, the organ will be removed instead of repaired.
Good question, I'm not sure how people dealt with ruptured appendix in the past before there was surgery. However, it's important to note that there are many diseases that used to be death sentences (people had very short life expentancies back then) but now have an effective cure, a perfect example of this is tuberculosis.
As I am not a doctor, I only *think* this makes sense.. so I'd be really interested in hearing your opinion on this:
Isn't it plausible, that Houdini was killed not by a punch to his appendix, but by a punch to his liver? Especially, say-- if he did have underlying appendicitis that had caused a liver abscess, and the punch then had caused to burst?
It's well documented that: a) the liver is easily injured with blunt force blows to the abdomen and b) a ruptured liver abscess would cause sepsis and lead to death. And because he never had an autopsy performed could this not be a possibility that wasn't ruled out?
Thank you Dr. Jason if you take the time to read and reply!
i have no idea what you just, respectfully
As someone who suffered a ruptured appendix myself mad props to him for doing a show with that level of pain. What a stupidly brave move.

For postmortem: Hi, med student here. I imagine most people when punching someone's stomach would go for the belly button (umbilical) area or epigastric area, while the appendix is located in the lower right (right iliac) area. While the punch is unlikely to cause the appendicitis, it's likely that it aggravated the already preexisting appendicitis, causing it to burst. A burst appendicitis is always a worse prognosis, because the bacteria spreads easily in the abdominal cavity, causing other complications. Especially in Houdini's case where he postponed treatment for hours while possibly putting his body under more stress by doing his tricks, it's possible the infection had already entered his bloodstream and was too spread out that he didn't survive. I personally believe there wasn't any murder involved, simply a series of unfortunate events that ended with his untimely demise.
Ding ding
as a med student aswell i agree that the end his death was septic due to appendicitis
lol next time i shoudve waited instead of reading the comments when the med student punched him lmao ...in the end he died like what i expected lol

It’s crazy that the great magician Houdini was the staunch rationalist who wanted to expose the fraud of spiritualism, but spiritualism’s biggest champion was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of fiction’s most powerful rationalist.
I know right it’s so crazy and ironic!

The fact that this man did a whole show with acute appendicitis is amazing...appendicitis is extremely painful and even walking or doing any normal activity is quite painful....
I feel like Houdini’s death isn’t so much unsolved as are his tricks. He guarded the secrets very well and literally took them to the grave. I think his death was appendicitis and the punches may have accelerated his condition if it was already on the verge of bursting. He didn’t seem like one to complain of ailments.
Fax
I hate to say it but i feel like buzzfeed is just running out of mysteries. Really all if not most of the stories here are in the US and Europe or western stories. Would love to see more from other countries especially Japan, they have so many creepy supernatural and true crime stories.

True, there's no true mystery here, appendicitis punched/unpunched left late before treated would inevitably lead to sepsis... poison doesn't lead to sepsis.

Actually, the milk can is done by a special version with an air dome at the top (with the help of displaced water by putting himself in the can) and loose rivets. Modern magicians explained it years ago, so not quite "never solved". But EXTREMELY EXTREMELY impressive for the time
My granddad almost died of appendicitis too. he was teaching a 3hr lecture and was a professor of aerospace engineering, and his appendix ruptured about an hour halfway through. he then both waited to help out some students who were still confused, and then also drove himself to the hospital where all the told the nurse was that he had "mild stomach cramps" and sat in the waiting room for another two hours. when he was finally rushed into surgery, the doctor said that it was "the worst case of appendicitis he had seen in all 30yrs he had been practicing". he survived through and now he's got 15 grandkids and he's still kicking
I love this!! What a guy!

My grandfather died on Halloween...but it's more scary with Houdini
Shane: there’s nothing funny about sepsis…
Ryan: *snickers to himself*
Shane: ArE yOu LaUgHiNg aT SePsIs?!
A rather obvious possibility seems to have been overlooked: while being punched in the stomach is not likely to *cause* appendicitis, surely that could *worsen* it?
It could have been a matter of bad timing: maybe Houdini had an undiagnosed case of appendicitis, overlooked because he wasn't symptomatic yet, and then this baboon punches him in the stomach, and sends the condition into overdrive.
That’s actually a great point, I didn’t think of that. It makes sense that it would make it worse by causing additional damage or just quickening the effects.
I’d think it probably could make it worse. It would at least make the pain worse. You can actually test if it’s appendicitis by pressing hard on the main point of pain for a few seconds, and if it hurts worse when you release it’s your appendix. Also I’d assume if an organ is already ruptured or rupturing and you hit it REALLY hard multiple times it would probably get worse.
"baboon" lmaaooo i lost it
I think so too, I was hoping someone would mention this!
This whole episode is Ryan trying to convince Shane that he is Houdini
For postmortem: one of Houdini's famous tricks was taking punches to the stomach like a champ because he was so yolked that he could just tense his abs and mess up the other guy's hand. it doesn't take very long to do that, and it seems odd that the only guy that managed to hurt him was also a medical student. it's very possible that his fan was sincerely trying to hurt him, either for the chance to say he did or possibly more sinister motivations.
A lot of people think that was what caused his appendex to burst and caused his death.
yeah Bc he’s a medical student he knows like where everything is and what can cause it to burst. that’s the only way lol
Love the name
@@georgepiggott4455 😏
I too watched the episode lmao.
Him searching for his mother had me bawling over the video
And when Lady Doyle wrote in english... i couldn't believe it.
Postmortem: I remember learning about appendicitis back in college. Once it bursts, it sends the infection into your abdominal cavity and the chance of septicemia would have been quite high. And since it was still another 2 years before antibiotics were even discovered, he was pretty much doomed since he waited so long. This case is pretty much an open and shut one for me, even if some people still want to debate it.
So glad you guys are back and Happy Halloween🎃

The locks on the can are real but they don't actually hold the top in place. The top can pop open without the locks ever being opened.
Or, besides the lock, a "trap door" or something of sorts could be under the can, providing a quiet and clean escape.

That was actually in a movie with Hugh Jackman called The Prestige- but yeah I’ve seen that one floating around the internet. One theory I’ve heard is that he faked his death so he could be buried alive and somehow escape, but never did. Definitely think the appendicitis is the case here though.
Ditto
Same
I think this is a Mandela Effect sort of thing, where we hear that a guy who performed these dangerous, death-defying acts, died, we assume that he probably died doing one of them because it's easy to think.
For the post mortem: Yes, an already existing case of appendicitis can be escalated by trauma. It really doesn’t take much for an inflamed appendix to rupture. And being attached to the bowel, a ruptured and untreated appendix is highly susceptible to infection and therefore sepsis.
Edit: This was also before the commercial availability of antibiotics, so there was no way to correct the infection or sepsis.
You nailed it.
Yesss i was thinking the same thing, he might’ve already had appendicitis.
What's incredible about Houdini's performances, is that some of those that we DO understand, involved absolutely **incredible** feats of personal athleticism and body control!
