The exhumation of Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) was performed in 2010
to verify speculative views on the cause of his death. Previous analyses of
skeletal and hair remains recovered from his grave refuted the presumption that
he died from poisoning. These studies also outlined the possibility that he
actually died from an acute illness, echoing the rather vague and inaccurate
testimony of some historical records. We performed a detailed paleopathological
analysis of Tycho Brahe's skeletal remains, along with a reconstruction of his
diet based on carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes analysis and an estimate of his
physical status (relative body fat) based on medullar and cortical dimensions of
the femoral shaft. The astronomer's remains exhibit bone changes indicative of
diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). The study further allows us to
classify him as obese (100% reliability according to our decision tree designed
from Danish males), and points out his rich diet (high input of animal protein
and/or marine resources) and high social status. Comorbidities of DISH and
obesity are reviewed, and their influence on health status is discussed. We
further consider some conditions associated with metabolic syndrome as possible
causes of Tycho Brahe's final symptoms (urinary retention, renal failure and
coma), including diabetes, alcoholic ketoacidosis and benign prostatic
hypertrophy. Although a definite and specific diagnosis cannot be established,
our study points to today's civilization diseases often associated with DISH and
metabolic syndrome as the possible cause of death of Tycho Brahe.
