Revealing Houdini's last trick
Good morning! Few Detroit stories could be more fitting for Halloween than the mystery surrounding the death of Harry Houdini in Detroit's Grace Hospital 100 years ago this weekend. For George Hunter, the assignment was a chance to indulge one of his favorite pursuits: digging into Detroit history. “I was elated when my editor instructed me to write a story commemorating the 100th anniversary of the death of legendary magician Harry Houdini,” George says. “My elation turned to intrigue when I started nosing around.” What he found went well beyond the familiar legends about Houdini’s death. His reporting revealed recently raised questions about Houdini's Detroit death certificate and cites official records and experts, including a former Michigan health department fraud investigator who said there is strong evidence the certificate had been altered. But why? And how? George is a lifelong Metro Detroiter who has covered some of the area's biggest mysteries. And he came away convinced that there are legitimate questions about how and when the famed escape artist died and how it was officially recorded. It’s a fascinating Detroit mystery, and an especially good read for Halloween. Read George Hunter’s story on the mystery surrounding Harry Houdini’s death See
