    Fun fact: Capone died from syphilis at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore. Baltimore: A Good Place To Die.
    Wikipedia says treated there, but died in Florida.


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capone

    Due to his failing health, Capone was released from prison on November 16, 1939, and referred to the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for the treatment of paresis (caused by late-stage syphilis). Hopkins refused to admit him on his reputation alone, but Union Memorial Hospital accepted him.

    Capone was grateful for the compassionate care that he received and donated two Japanese weeping cherry trees to Union Memorial Hospital in 1939. A very sickly Capone left Baltimore on March 20, 1940, after a few weeks of inpatient and outpatient care, for Palm Island, Florida.

    If anyone is interested there’s a great miniseries on Amazon Prime on Making of the Mob New York and Chicago. Both were really fascinating to binge on.
