His Final Days

As Al Capone approached his final days, his health continued to deteriorate, and a shocking revelation left medical experts baffled. When his brain was examined during autopsy, it was discovered that the once-notorious gangster had the mental capacity of a 12-year-old child.

This startling finding raised questions about the extent of damage caused by the diseases he had contracted earlier in life, particularly syphilis. Capone’s cognitive decline, from being a ruthless crime boss to having the mental faculties of a preteen, served as a stark reminder of the devastating toll that his tumultuous life had taken on his physical and mental well-being.
