EzraHe died in 1926, due to peritonitis which is an inflammation of the membrane which lines the inside of the abdomen and all of the internal organs possibly from a appendix rupture.
Harry often demonstrated that he could withstand the hardest punches to his midsection after flexing his incredibly strong abdominal muscle cage. He became the deliberate target of a strong man (a student at McGill University). The student asked Houdini if he can test out his claim. But, before Harry was prepared, he delivered a strong blow to his abdomen. Being the showman Harry was, shortly after recovering from the initial pain of the cowardly blow, the offender was invited to restrike Harry, and the subsequent blow bounced harmlessly off.
It is commonly believed that he suffered from peritonitis beforehand and the blow to the stomach just made it worse.
The damage was done and the world shortly lost a wonderful and unique entertainer. Harry Houdini died at 1:26 p.m.on October 31 1926- at the age of 52.
