And Rafinesque died much like he lived, in controversy, he died of cancer and destitute; when his landlord threatened to sell his body to the medical college to pay past due rent, Rafinesque's friends stole the body by lowering it from a second story window, and buried it in an unmarked grave. www.geocities.com /jswortham/rafinesque.html
