Composer Niccolò Paganini dies of internal hemorrhaging due to pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of 58 in Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.


Because a priest arrived too late to perform the last rites on Paganini, and his widely rumored association with the devil, the Church denied his body a Catholic burial.
