DNA solves historic family murder case
Researchers at Yale University have genetically confirmed that Francesco I de' Medici and his brother died from malaria, not poisoning, in 1587. DNA analysis of their remains revealed the presence of Plasmodium falciparum and P. malariae, providing scientific evidence that malaria was the cause of their sudden deaths. This discovery debunks long-standing rumors of poisoning, which persisted despite historical descriptions of malaria-like symptoms.
