Discussion
After the patient completed his show, he returned to the Statler Hotel, where Daniel E. Cohn, a young physician covering for the usual senior hotel doctor, diagnosed acute appendicitis. On October 25, 1926, Dr. Charles S. Kennedy, Chief of Surgery at Grace Hospital in Detroit, operated the patient, discovering acute gangrenous appendicitis with peritonitis. A few days later Dr. Kennedy reoperated because of suspected ileus or obstruction. He died on Sunday, October 31, with the cause of death listed as "diffuse streptococcal peritonitis."
