Traumatic fractures in an early 19th century museum skeleton suggest the homicide of an old Munich character: the history of "Finessensepperl" (Finesse Joseph).

Forensic Sci Med Pathol

April 2024

Department of Forensic Histopathology, Paleopathology and Mummy Research, Institute of Legal Medicine, Ludwig-Maximilians Universität, Nussbaumstr. 26, D-80336, München, Germany.

The well preserved skeleton of Joseph Huber, a very well-known historical character of the 19th century Munich, also nicknamed "Finessen-Sepperl", is the starting point of the reconstruction of life and death of this historical individual. He was known as a postilion d´amour (love's messenger) of the Royal Bavarian capital with numerous comments and anecdotes and a few biographical sketches that indicate he remained well until the last few years of his life where requests for his duties lessened. The skeleton shows a small-sized male individual with almost complete loss of teeth, but otherwise very well-mineralized bone, having suffered from three episodes of trauma - an old-healed incomplete femoral neck fracture leading to severe osteoarthrosis, a clavicle fracture of the medial third with a few weeks old callus formation, and fresh serial rib fractures along with severe skull trauma with fractures of the os temporale and petrosum, presumably leading to intracranial bleeding and finally death.

Article Synopsis
  • Bees efficiently forage by timing their visits to food sources, aided by their impressive time memory.
  • Ingeborg Beling, under Karl von Frisch, conducted pioneering research on honeybee time memory in 1929, contributing to the field of chronobiology.
  • Despite her significant findings, Beling's career was cut short due to societal pressures, highlighting the challenges faced by women in science during her time.
