Francis bacon, pioneer of the scientific method, died in 1626 inventing what?

Answer 1

He died trying to invent a way to keep meats. He decided to put snow inside of a bird (presumably turkey, but it could have been a chicken). He developed pneumonia from his cold (he put his bare hands in the snow) and died.

Answer 2

In March, 1626, Lord St Alban came to London. Continuing his scientific research, he was inspired by the possibility of using snow to preserve meat. He purchased a chicken (fowl) to carry out this experiment. After stuffing the chicken with snow, he happened to contract a fatal case of pneumonia. Some people consider these two coincidental events as related and causative of his death. He died at Lord Arundel's home in Highgate on 9 April 1626, leaving assets of about £7,000 and debts to the amount of £22,000.

Answer 3

1626 March, while driving near Highgate, decides to experiment with the effect of cold on the decay of meat, purchases a fowl and stuffs it with snow. Catches cold and develops bronchitis, dying on April 9.

Answer 4

With his professional career at an end, Bacon took to the philosophy of science. One of his notions was that food could be preserved if it were frozen. His method of experiment was to stuff a chicken with snow in the hope that the meat would remain wholesome. Sadly the project ended in disaster when Bacon consumed the frozen meal and caught a cold and subsequently died.

Answer 5

Sir Francis died while attempting to prove that cold storage would retard spoilage of fresh meat. His experiment used snow stuffed in a chicken. He contracted pneumonia during his experiment, and died.
