Still remember I first saw news of her death right as I got home after a dinner out, via checking Twitter on my phone for unrelated reasons and being greeted to a BBC Breaking tweet. Made sure to take a screenshot of that moment.

I remember I was watching Netflix at home and I was on the laptop at the same time and it was about 10 at night and for some reason I just happened to put zsa zsa name into google and a black banner with breaking news said she had died I thought it was a hoax so came on here and saw one post confirming the news there was nearly a double death as I nearly died of shock thought she would go on forever. I was quite surprised she died 50 days before her 100th birthday after surviving against the odds for so long was convinced the prince would get her to her 100th at all costs. It was the end of an era as zsa zsa was the one who got me into the death list

Alois Alzheimer died on this day 102 years ago, aged 51.

Before you ask, no, he didn't die from the disease he identified.

His cause of death was heart failure.
