The Associated Press inkerpie. The Health Research Institute scientists said that Beethoven's lead exposure came as an adult, but that the source of the lead was unclear, though one possibility was the mineral water he swam in and drank during his stays at spas. Beethoven was prone to towering rages, and sometimes had the look of a wild animal, with his long hair unkempt and his appearance filthy. The four-year analysis of the hair — apparently snipped after the composer's death at age 56 in 1827 — has turned up a concentration of lead 100 times the levels commonly found in people today, according to researchers at the Health Research Institute in suburban Chicago, where the hair was tested. That means it is all but certain that the composer suffered from lead poisoning, also known as plumbism, the researchers said. "If you asked friends, they'd say he could be gruff but he had a great sense of humor." Meredith said. "Others say he was unpredictable — very erratic behavior — that you'd never know what to expect when you'd visit him." Lead poisoning may also explain what some described as dramatic mood swings on Beethoven's part. the researcher's said: "It was a surprise but it stood out like a sore thumb in the analysis," said William Walsh, director of the institute's Beethoven research project. Scientists initially searched for mercury, a common treatment for syphilis in Beethoven's day. The absence of mercury supports the recent consensus of scholars who believe Beethoven did not have syphilis. He said he hoped further testing would be done on other locks of hair from the Beethoven house in Bonn, Germany, which has several strands that were taken five or more years before he died. in rare cases, lead poisoning causes deafness, but scientists remain unsure if that was what caused Beethoven's hearing loss. "So that's really the million-dollar question," said William Meredith, director of the Center for Beethoven Studies at San Jose State University.
