Could the Life of Admiral Nelson in Trafalgar Be Saved?

Abstract

The Authors, after carrying out an historical reconstruction of the war and socio-political events inherent to the Battle of Trafalgar which took place on 21 October 1805, focus and place the emphasis on the physiopathological events that led to the death of Admiral Nelson. They highlight the probable traumatic injuries he suffered and subsequent development of the morbid mass determining an example of ex post reconstruction with profiles of forensic medicine and history of medicine, definitely interesting and original.
