WHAT A WAY TO GO

Scientists and doctors think they know what killed Herod the Great. It ain't pretty:
More than 2,000 years after Herod the Great succumbed at age 69, doctors have now settled on exactly what killed the king of ancient Judea: chronic kidney disease complicated by a very uncomfortable case of maggot-infested gangrene of the genitals.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
