Friedrich Nietzsche suffered a syphilitic collapse, followed by 10 years of physical and mental decline, until his death in 1900. The philosopher had coprophagic tendencies â he was partial to eating his own feces. David Hume, devout empiricist, died âcheerfullyâ of a disorder of the bowels. Karl Marx, his body covered in carbuncles, endured countless gruesome illnesses as he wrote Das Kapital. He died severely depressed after the deaths of his wife and beloved first child. He fell asleep in an easy chair and never woke up. Hannah Arendt stepped into a pothole and tripped as she got out of a taxi outside her apartment in New York City and later that night started coughing, passed out, and died of a heart attack. Albert Camus once said he couldnât imagine a death more meaningless than dying in a car accident. Just three years after receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature at 44, he died ⌠in a car accident.
