Sep-11-06    EmperorAtahualpa: So he died at 38 years old. That's pretty young! Does anyone know what happened to him? Sep-11-06    hellstrafer: <EmperorAtahualpa: So he died at 38 years old> He died at 28 years old. ;) Sep-11-06    EmperorAtahualpa: LOL, you're right, thanks. But my question remains! What happened to him? Nov-09-06    Phony Benoni: All I can find is that he died in Buenos Aires, having stayed there instead of going back to Estonia after the 1939 Olympiad. Feb-23-07    suenteus po 147: Vaccinations in those days were all but nonexistant. He could have contracted malaria or anything else and been too sick to travel back home, and then later died. Feb-23-07    NakoSonorense: <Vaccinations in those days were all but nonexistant.> Suenteus, I get your point, but aren't you saying that there were actually vaccinations back then? Your sentence... uhmmm, confuses me! :S Feb-23-07    suenteus po 147: <NakoSonorense> Though vaccinations (primarily against smallpox) were known and even widespread in the early 20th century, they were by no means common or compulsory. It wasn't until after WWII that vaccinations became commonplace. Mar-26-07    sleepkid: Raud, like many other chess players participating in the Olympiad, stayed in Argentina after the outbreak of World War II, rather than return to Europe. Raud fared poorly in Argentina, and in 1941 when he couldn't afford his lodging house any longer, he wandered the streets for two weeks where he was arrested by police. The following day he was sent to a mental asylum, but died there just after arrival. The coroner listed the death as being caused by "debilitation and typhoid fever" - just short of his 28th birthday. Jun-15-07    whiteshark: <<EmperorAtahualpa>: ... That's pretty young!
