George Noel Gordon, Lord Byron, died of fever on April 19, 1824 at the age of thirty-six. http://www.neuroticpoets.com/byron/ Here is a more storied report of his final moments:"'Butchers!' he called them but still allowed the doctors to bleed him with leeches. The fever gripped harder. They administered a potion but the delirium increased and he muttered incoherently. Falling into a profound sleep, he awoke 24 hours later, opened his eyes to immediately close them again. At that moment a thunderstorm broke over Missolonghi, and Lord Byron, famous English poet and revolutionary, died." http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/sherwoodtimes/lordbyro.htm Dec 30 07, 7:36 AM
