In 1918 Egon Schiele died from the Spanish Flu pandemic. He was 28 years old.
"Sometime
in mid-October, Egon Schiele’s wife, Edith falls ill with the flu. She
is 6 months pregnant and despite the desperate care from her husband
Egon, she succumbs to the flu on October 28. Three days later, on
October 31, Egon Schiele followed his wife and unborn child into the
after world in the early hours of the day."
