I've been seeing stories [1] [2] that after 12 research scientists entered the 500 year old tomb of Casimir IV Jagiellon, 4 of them died days later, and another 6 died months later. It is speculated that the deaths may have been due to a fungal infection caused by exposure to Aspergillus while in the tomb. My question is about the specific incident involving the King of Poland's tomb in the 1970s. I've had a difficult time finding contemporary accounts or any reliable sources to confirm these deaths. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. mikeu talk 23:28, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
