I just watched the movie "The Libertine", with Johnny Depp, and wonder what illness the earl succumbed to in the end.

Does anyone know?

  1. Syphilis...how very tragic.


  2. By the age of thirty-three Rochester was dying, presumably from syphilis, other venereal diseases, and the effects of alcoholism.
