Chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele discovered or identified oxygen, molybdenum, tungsten, barium, hydrogen and chlorine. He greatly advanced science. However, he died young and his discoveries were cut short. Why?
- Scheele was shot in a duel over his mistress
- He ate raw chicken, which he swore kept his mind active and vigorous. Unfortunately, the raw meat gave him frequent food poisoning and he eventually died from a particularly bad chicken
- Scheele liked to smell and taste the chemical he worked with
- His laboratory blew up
