Wolfey!

Salieri was confined to an insane asylum for the last couple of years of his life. It was during this time that he “confessed” to killing Wolfgang Mozart. However, a person can confess to anything—that does not simply make it true. Perhaps Salieri felt guilt for a personal interaction with Mozart, one that pushed Mozart so far that Salieri started to believe he actually did kill Mozart himself. Mozart probably died of an infection and Salieri probably had nothing to do with it. Mozart had health problems throughout his life, and suffered at times from smallpox, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, typhoid fever, rheumatism, and gum disease.
