On the centenary of Harry Houdini's death, a former urologist claims he died from an intestinal blockage caused by chop suey, not appendicitis or punches from a student. Larrian Gillespie spent years researching medical documents and believes the truth was concealed through falsified death certificates. Her findings, published in a recent book, aim to clear the name of Joscelyn Gordon Whitehead, the student blamed for Houdini's death. Gillespie argues that Houdini's demise was due to a blockage rather than the commonly accepted cause of appendicitis, which was exacerbated by the punches. Her investigation reveals inconsistencies in the official accounts and suggests a cover-up surrounding Houdini's death date, coinciding with Halloween.
