The Guevara Lock of Beethoven's Hair
Information about the lock of hair that was cut from the head of composer Ludwig van Beethoven after his death. Discusses scientific tests that were performed on the lock of hair, including trace metals and DNA analyses, and a 2000 press release about the discovery of high levels of lead in his hair (may have contributed to his death). Some broken links. From the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies, San Jose State University.
