On 17 April 1955, Albert Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by the
rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Einstein refused surgery, saying: "I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to
prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it
elegantly." He died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning at
the age of 76, having continued to work until near the end.
