What did Theo van Gogh die of?

Answer 1

Van Gogh suffered a mental breakdown after only ten years working as an artist. The story goes that in December 1888, Van Gogh cut off the lower half of his left ear and took it to a brothel, where he presented it to a prostitute friend. The reason for this unusual behaviour has been theorised upon by many; the most likely cause was that it was the result of an argument with his painter friend Paul Gauguin, although that does not explain his bizarre behaviour. Regardless of the reason, shortly after this incident, van Gogh admitted himself to a mental institution. Two years after this, suffering from severe depression, Van Gogh shot himself in the chest and died two days later, on 29 July, 1890.
