Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

Peterson met Bishop at a Salt Lake City roller-skating rink the day before. They talked about skates, Peterson mentioning that he would like to sell his and buy a new pair. Bishop feigned interest, telling Peterson he would pay $35 for the skates. It is unclear whether Bishop agreed to meet Peterson on Sunday or what name he used, but Peterson left home with the skates telling his parent he had found a buyer.

Artist Amedeo Clemente Modigliani dies of tubercular meningitis due to execessive alcohol and drug abuse at the age of 36 in Hôpital de la Charité, VIe, Paris, Île-de-France, France. When Modigliani died his twenty-one-year-old fiencée Jeanne Hébuterne was eight months pregnant with their second child. A day later Hébuterne was taken to her parents' home. There, inconsolable, she threw herself out of a fifth-floor window, killing herself and their unborn child.
