Ritchie
John (alias: Sid Vicious). 1979-02-02

21

Born 1957-05-10. Domain:Music. Cause of death:alcohol, other drugs

During his time at Rikers Island jail, he had been weaned off heroin, and was clean. However, at a dinner gathering, he obtained some heroin from his mother and overdosed that night. Robinson revived him. Much later that night, the couple fell asleep together. Ritchie was discovered dead the next morning. New York Chief Coroner Michael Baden explained at the time, when a person has an accidental heroin overdose, and then falls asleep, their heart slows with every REM phase. Ritchie died at around 10:00 AM, after the repeated REM phases throughout the night. Forensic experts subsequently found the heroin was 80% pure, as opposed to the normal for the time 5%. This could also explain Vicious' overdose since his tolerance to the drug had been lowered during his time in prison. On HBO's Autopsy: Post Mortem, Dr. Baden claims Vicious' lungs were filled with fluid and water, which is common for someone who has overdosed on heroin. Ultimately, Vicious drowned in his own fluids. Others say Sid's death was a suicide, as he had overdosed more than once.

Born 1834-02-08. Domain:Science (Physics style). Cause of death:flu

In 1893, he was appointed Director of the Bureau of Weights and Measures. It was in this role that he was directed to formulate new state standards for the production of vodka. His fascination with molecular weights led him to conclude that to be in perfect molecular balance, vodka should be produced in the ratio of one molecule of ethyl alcohol diluted with five molecules of water, giving a dilution by volume of approximately 38% alcohol to 62% water. As a result of his work, in 1894 new standards for vodka were introduced into Russian law and all vodka had to be produced at 40% alcohol by volume.
