Today in History
On October 25, 1920, King Alexander of Greece died at the age of 27 from complications following a monkey attack earlier that month. The incident occurred as the king was walking on the grounds of his palace outside Athens. When a Barbary macaque belonging to a palace resident attacked his dog, Alexander intervened to separate the animals. During the struggle, he suffered several bites that became infected, eventually leading to sepsis and his death.
