  Ben Weider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Napoleonic circles he is known as a forceful advocate of the theory that Napoleon was assassinated by a member of his entourage during his exile in Saint Helena.
He co-authored a book, The Murder Of Napoleon, with Sten Forshufvud about this.
In 1975 he was made a Member of the Order of Canada.

The academic elite hated this theory when Sten Forshufvud first introduced it in 1961, but over the years, working with experts across the globe, he built an increasingly forceful case that an assassin killed Napoleon with arsenic.
The late STEN FORSHUFVUD was a Swedish scientist who pursued research in the fields of biology and toxicology in many European laboratories.
According to Swedish toxicologist Sten Forshufvud, and Napoleonic scholar Ben Weider, the answer is an irrefutable "yes." In one of history's most intriguing homicide investigations, the authors have compiled startling, yet convincing evidence implicating a nobleman, who was once severely punished by Napoleon, as the defeated leader's killer.

 Excursions into the mundane and the revealing...
Forshufvud went over all the evidence and made sure that there were no loopholes in his theory, before he could present this audacious finding to the world.
If Forshufvud could track down any of the Emperor's descendents or a descendent of his valets, perhaps he or she could give him a strand of hair for his experiments.
Forshufvud's investigation was so perfect that he could actually publish his theory in the prestigious science journal NATURE.

 Was Napoléon a Junkie?
Since Sten Forshufvud has since died, this has become very much Ben Weider's book, and he has been promoting it very vigorously around the world.
Sten Forshufvud managed to acquire hair that Napoléon himself had given to a number of people, or that had been acquired in other ways:

 Arsenic poisoning and Napoleon
In 1952 Swedish dentist Sten Forshufvud read the recently published account of Napoleon's death by Merchand.

As he reads Marchand’s Memoirs, Swedish stomatologist Sten Forshufvud, who had previously studied toxicology at the University of Bordeaux in France, begins to question the commonly held belief that Napoleon died of an illness.
Forshufvud then has the sample scientifically tested by Dr. Hamilton Smith who works at the department of Forensic Medicine at the University of Glasgow.
As a result, Dr. Forshufvud is, at first, unable to find other samples of hair that would allow Dr. Hamilton-Smith to widen the scope of the tests.

 Augusta Georgia: features@ugusta: Arsenic was to blame in Napoleon's death 12/05/99
In 1961, Swedish doctor Sten Forshufvud jolted historians with his theory that Napoleon had died of arsenic poisoning.
Forshufvud came to his conclusion after analysis of a lock of Napoleon's hair revealed significant concentrations of arsenic.
But Dr. Forshufvud's findings in themselves did not prove that Napoleon had been murdered.

 INS: Napoleon's Demise Reexamined
Twenty years ago, if you suggested to serious historians that Napoleon had been murdered while in exile on the remote South Atlantic island of St. Helena, and that he was murdered by one of his most trusted French companions in exile, you would likely have been laughed out of the room.
Beginning with the research of amateur Swedish toxicologist Sten Forshufvud in the 1950s, the idea that Napoleon was murdered began to become a respectable theory.
After all, Napoleon said as much in his will, and the treatment of Napoleon by the British in general, and the island governor Sir Hudson Lowe in particular, was bitterly criticized by Napoleon's defenders both before and after his death, up to the present day.

Governements have usually some interest in monitoring the results of home archeology and it is well known that many countries discourage the advent of foreign archeologists.
In 1952 Swedish dentist Sten Forshufvud read the recently published account of Napoleon's death by Merchand (Sten Forshufvud, (1995)).
Since it has been established that hair grows at approximately one inch every two months, if it is shaved at the scalp and the date is known, then tests for arsenic in the hair can determine almost to the day when arsenic was ingested.

 Was Napoleon Murdered?
In order to prove this theory Forshufvud turned to Glasgow University forensic scientists Professor Hamilton Smith who had developed the nuclear techniques to record very small levels of arsenic.
Using these techniques it was shown that small quantities of arsenic were discovered in Napoleon's hair.
This technique was not only known at the time, but it was described in a book that Albine de Montholon had with her in St Helena.

He was buried on the island but his body was later removed and re-buried in Paris on the banks of the Seine, as he had wished.
In 1952, Swedish dentist Sten Forshufvud read the published account of Napoleon’s death and based on his knowledge of toxicology, came to the conclusion that he had been murdered.
In his will, Napoleon claimed that he had been “murdered by the British” — his relations with the British governor of St Helena, Hudson Lowe, were bitter.

In December 1999, the evidence compiled by Ben and his colleague, the late Sten Forshufvud, was published in The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, the pre-eminent publication on forensic pathology read by thousands of doctors interested in pathology and forensic medicine throughout the world.
The article describes the specific results of nuclear testing, requested by Forshufvud and supported by Weider in 1960, of certain Napoleon hairs at the Harwell Nuclear Research Laboratory in London, England.
Weider and Forshufvud co-authored the most detailed account, Assassination at St. Helena, published in 1978, and the subsequent, Assassination at St. Helena Revisited, published in 1995 by John Wiley &Sons, Inc. of New York, which also included the forensic evidence and pathology they had gathered over the years.

Use of nuclear science for irradiation of specimens of Napoleon's hair made possible a renewed autopsy.
Out of a background of the great names and epic events of the Napoleonic era emerges compelling evidence that a Bourbonist count - a man once severely punished by Napoleon but who had become at St. Helena his most trusted, praised and rewarded attendant - was his executioner.

Weider believes Napoleon, exiled to St. Helena in the South Atlantic in 1815 after his defeat at Waterloo, died not of stomach cancer, as history has held, but of arsenic poisoning.

After the publication of these results by Smith and Forshufvud, a Canadian businessman and president of the North American Napoleonic Society, Ben Weider, became involved.   First, with Forshufvud, and then with David Hapgood, Weider transformed the arsenic data into a fully rounded theory of murder.
