Article that discusses recent findings on the lead levels in Beethoven’s skull fragments. The testing found that the lead levels were not at all above normal. Also noteworthy is that the two fragments tested had a wide difference with the smaller of the two having a larger amount of lead. The doctor could not give a reason for the difference.
