“He [Jospeh Toynbee] died in July 1866 [age 51] while conducting experiments with prussic acid and chloroform as a remedy for tinnitus. Either one of these substances or their combination are responsible for his death. He was buried at St Mary’s Church, Wimbledon.”-Sourced from Wikipedia Dec 18th, 2019
