Trace element analysis of the hair of Duke Mirko Petrovic-Njegos - a possible means of clarification of his death
Štupar, Janez ...
Hair of Duke Mirko Petrovic (1820 - 1867), a member of the famous Njegos Dynasty of Montenegro, was analyzed for the trace elements Ca, Mg, Fe, Cr, Cu,Zn, Pb, Cd, As, Se and Hg in order to elucidate ...the cause of his death. Thelevels of the majority of these elements in the hair varied considerably from the reference ranges established by various authors. Elevated Fe and Cu hair levels were explained by post-mortem incorporation of these elements fromparticulate matter found on the hair surface. The substantially higher hair Hg value may be derived from calomel used at that time for treating cholera. The severely depressed hair Zn value in the last period of Duke Petrovicćs life can be attributed to the diseased state typical of cholera. Similarly, the increased hair Ca and hair Mg contents could be the result of rapid mobilization of these elements from bone as a consequence of the disease. Relatively high levels of Pb in hair are likely the result of contaminated food rather than environmental pollution. However, the elevated levels of toxic elements (Pb, Hg, Cd) found in his hair do not suggest systemic intoxication to be the cause of death.
