After stuffing the fowl with snow, Bacon contracted a fatal case of pneumonia. Some people, including Aubrey, consider these two contiguous, possibly coincidental events as related and causative of his death: > The Snow so chilled him that he immediately fell so extremely ill, that he > could not return to his Lodging … but went to the Earle of Arundel's house > at Highgate, where they put him into … a damp bed that had not been layn-in > … which gave him such a cold that in 2 or 3 days as I remember Mr Hobbes > told me, he died of Suffocation. Aubrey has been criticized for his evident credulousness in this and other works; on the other hand, he knew Thomas Hobbes, Bacon's fellow-philosopher and friend. Being unwittingly on his deathbed, the philosopher dictated his last letter to his absent host and friend Lord Arundel: > My very good Lord,—I was likely to have had the fortune of Caius Plinius the > elder, who lost his life by trying an experiment about the burning of Mount > Vesuvius; for I was also desirous to try an experiment or two touching the > conservation and in-duration of bodies.
