According to this article. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070828/ap_en_ot/who_killed_beethoven)

The master might have been poisoned by his own doctor with lead-laced polticues applied to his abdomen during treatment for his edemas he had prior to his death in 1827.

Interesting article.

Sounds much more reliable than what they used to say about Mozart... ;)

Now if Beethoven's physician had been an envious composer we might have some good film material...

At least the medical profession is consistent over the years.
