How did nikola tesla die

With all the wildfires and disasters hitting valuable cities, it’s hard not to hear the conspiracy theories about weather control, or a giant laser… was Tesla crazy, or did he actually invent something??
The research undertaken by Stephen for his podcast and his presentation is fantastic. I am so glad I discovered this podcast. But I’ve been around since almost the start, and it has now been more than two years since the last show was uploaded. Us fans know Stephen’s family grew, but still, I’ve been hoping he would be able to come back to finish this awesome series in its entirety.
Somebody call Ken Burns , the script is finished! Hay Steve , you ok? (Wrong format I realise, keep in mind I dident send it in Morse code.)
I have really liked the fascinating history of Tesla and all episodes up till E8. I hope that the focus goes back to the main character and continues to build the live and times of Tesla w/o boring tangents into American politics. I would still support my 5 star rating as the base content is very good and well presented.

He was born in the Austrian Empire and died a naturalised citizen of the United States. His father was a parish priest in the village of Smiljan, now in Croatia. He went to school in the city of Karlovac and then studied at the Imperial-Royal Technical School in Graz, where he was fascinated by demonstrations of electricity. In 1881 he took a job in Budapest at the new telephone exchange, and the year afterwards he went to Paris and a job with the Continental Edison Company where he was in charge of installing incandescent lighting. When Edison’s Paris manager returned to New York in 1884, he arranged for Tesla to go with him.
Within six months, Tesla left to develop his own designs. He produced impr

Nikola Tesla was born on 10 July 1856 in the village of Smiljan which is now part of Croatia but was then within the military frontier of the Austrian Empire. His father was an Eastern Orthodox priest and so was his grandfather on his mother’s side.
He was the second youngest of five children, having three sisters, Milka, Angelina and Marica and an older brother called Dane who was tragically killed in an accident whilst riding his horse when Nikola was only five.
He first went to school in Smiljan where he studied German, mathematics, and religion. After completing primary school and middle school, he attended the Higher Real Gymnasium in Karlovac after he moved there in 1870, where the classes were all taught in German as was custom in the region at the time. After completing school in 1873, Nikola returned home to Smiljan but contracted cholera and almost died but recovered enough to run away to the mountains the following year to avoi
