I hear a number of conflicting theories as to when and how the guy who busted Capone actually died.

His book, The Untouchables, was published in 1957 shortly after his death at the age of 54 following a heart attack.

Elliot Ness actually died after having a heart attack. It was was thought that he died just as he was about to have his first alcoholic drink. This, however, was false.

Interesting. I've read a bit about him but don't recall his having died that way. It's something to look into just for the hell of it. I assume you've already googled it and come up with zilch. I'm willing to give it a try.
Edit: According to Wikipedia he died following a heart attack. Seems probable.

I don't know how Elliot Ness died, but the guy who busted Capone was an IRS agent named Eddie O'Hare.
Elliot Ness made a lot of trouble for Capone but he was finally convicted of tax evasion. (Who pays taxes on money they got illegaly) Elliot Ness just sold his story.
