Sadly, though, the escape artist and magic man did not live a very long life. Instead, he died at just fifty-two years old after letting a fan gut-punch him in the stomach.

The act was supposed to symbolize a feat of strength. But, it ultimately led to Harry’s appendix rupturing, and he actually died on Halloween in 1926.

Despite being a bit skeptical of mediums, though, Harry did believe that some form of an afterlife was possible. So, before his death, he left his wife a few coded phrases that she could use to identify him after he passed away.
