Harry Houdini died on Halloween.
Escape artist Harry Houdini became famous for narrowly dodging death. However, while his sudden passing in 1926 wasn’t directly related to any of his magic tricks, it was a mystery. According to the History Channel, “the 52-year-old performed before a packed house in Detroit on October 24, but was rushed to the hospital afterward with an apparent case of appendicitis.
He died just a week later on Halloween, leaving his legions of admirers bewildered.”
