The human skull is used universally as a symbol of death. Death is the irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism.

Traditional narrative
Mozart scholarship long followed the accounts of early biographers, which proceeded in large part from the recorded memories of his widow Constanze and her sister Sophie Weber as they were recorded in the biographies by Franz Niemetschek and Georg Nikolaus von Nissen. For instance, the important biography by Hermann Abert largely follows this account.The following is a summary of this view. When in August 1791 Mozart arrived in Prague to supervise the performance of his new opera La clemenza...
Revisionist accounts
The view that Mozart was in near-steady decline and despair during the last several months of his life has been met with much skepticism in recent years. Cliff Eisensupervised the reissue of Abert's biography in 2007 in a new edition, supplementing it with numerous footnotes. While generally deferential to Abert, Eisen expresses sharp criticism in the footnoting of the section leading up to Mozart's death: In the main biography article of the Cambridge Mozart Encyclopedia, Ruth Halliwell writ...
Theories involving homicide
An early rumor was that Mozart had been poisoned by his colleague Antonio Salieri; however, this has been proved untrue because the symptoms displayed by Mozart's illness did not indicate poisoning. Despite denying the allegation, Salieri was greatly affected by the accusations and widespread public belief that he had contributed to Mozart's death, which contributed to his nervous breakdownsin later life. Beyond the Salieri theory, other theories involving murder by poison have been put forth...
Theories involving disease
Stafford described the effort to determine what disease killed Mozart: In the parish register, the entry concerning Mozart's death states he died of "severe miliary fever"– "miliary" referring to the appearance of millet-sized bumps on the skin. This does not name the actual disease. Mozart had health problems throughout his life, suffering from smallpox, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, typhoid fever, rheumatism, and gum disease.Whether these played any role in his demise cannot be determ...
The funeral arrangements were made by Mozart's friend and patron Baron Gottfried van Swieten. Describing his funeral, the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians states, "Mozart was buried in a common grave, in accordance with contemporary Viennese custom, at the St. Marx Cemetery outside the city on 7 December." Otto Jahn wrote in 1856 that Salier...
Following her husband's death, Constanze addressed the issue of providing financial security for her family; the Mozarts had two young children, and Mozart had died with outstanding debts. She successfully appealed to the Emperor on 11 December 1791 for a widow's pensiondue to her as a result of Mozart's service to the Emperor as a part-time chambe...
Individuals present at the time of Mozart's death eventually committed their memories to writing, either on their own or through interviews by others. The stories they told are often contradictory, which may be due in part to some of the events not being recorded until the 1820s, when the witnesses' memories might have faded.
