Einstein Albert (b. 1879-04-14 / d. 1955-04-18)

He died at 1:15 AM in Princeton hospital in Princeton, New Jersey, on April 18, 1955 at the age of 76 from internal bleeding, which was caused by the rupture of an aortic aneurism, leaving the Generalized Theory of Gravitation unsolved.
An autopsy was performed on Einstein's barin. One found nothing unusual with his brain, but in 1999 further analysis by a team at McMaster University revealed that his parietal operculum region was missing and, to compensate, his inferior parietal lobe was 15% wider than normal. The inferior parietal region is responsible for mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition, and imagery of movement. Einstein's brain also contained 73% more glial cells than the average brain.

Born 1934-11-12. Domain:Society. Cause of death:Age

Charles Milles Manson (né Maddox) was an American criminal and cult leader. In mid-1967, he formed what became known as the "Manson Family", a quasi-commune based in California. His followers committed a series of nine murders at four locations in July and August 1969. According to the Los Angeles County district attorney, Manson plotted to start a race war, though he and others disputed this motive. In 1971, he was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the deaths of seven people, including the film actress Sharon Tate. The prosecution conceded that Manson never literally ordered the murders, but they contended that his ideology constituted an overt act of conspiracy. Manson was also convicted of first-degree murder for the deaths of Gary Hinman and Donald Shea. On January 1, 2017, Manson was suffering from gastrointestinal bleeding at California State Prison in Corcoran when he was rushed to Mercy Hospital in downtown Bakersfield. A source told the Los Angeles Times that Manson was seriously ill, and TMZ reported that his doctors considered him "too weak" for surgery. He was returned to prison on January 6, and the nature of his treatment was not disclosed. On November 15, 2017, an unauthorized source said that Manson had returned to a hospital in Bakersfield, but the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation did not confirm this in conformity with state and federal medical privacy laws. He died from cardiac arrest resulting from respiratory failure and colon cancer at the hospital.

Christina was married four times, all ending in bitter divorces. Her first three husbands were Joseph Bolker, Alexandros Andreadis and Sergei Kauzov. Her final marriage to Thierry Roussel was the only one which actually produced a child, her only daughter Athina Roussel. This marriage ended in divorce as well. Christina always knew that Thierry had been having an affair with Swedish model Marianne "Gaby" Landhage and even paid to maintain Landhage in a house with her two children, both of whom were conceived during Christina's marriage. Roussel, for his part, insisted that Christina stay slim to be with him, subjecting her to regular weighing and forced exercise regimes and eventually left her to be permanently with Landhage.
Christina lost her entire immediate family within a period of 24 months. Her father's health had started to deteriorate after her brother, Alexandros lost his life in a plane crash in Athens. Her mother committed suicide, something which Christina herself had attempted.
She died at the age 37 of pulmonary edema at a country club near Buenos Aires, Argentina. Christina was just coming out of depression when she died.
