Notes in a medical report revealed that Napoleon spent his last years suffering from severe pain from cancer and other diseases in his exile on the island of St. Helen.

And it was stated in the notes of Doctor Barry O'Meara, Napoleon's Irish surgeon, that the French emperor was "tormented" by toothache and severe fever, according to a report published by the British newspaper "The Times".

Ill health

Historian Andrew Roberts said the medical report, which was auctioned off in the United States, showed that the cancer that killed Napoleon in 1821 began early in 1818.

Napoleon, who was banished after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815, suffered from ill health on the island in the South Atlantic, and Napoleon blamed his mistreatment on the island's governor, Hudson Lowe.

The Battle of Waterloo put an end to the Napoleonic Wars, and paved the way for the launch of the British Empire and its control over many parts of the world.

O'Meara, who arrived with Napoleon and stayed until his ruling term for being very friendly with the exiled emperor, was concerned enough about the symptoms and described it as a "serious crisis".

By the fall of 1817, O'Meara had removed Napoleon's first wisdom tooth, which was suffering from scurvy.

Napoleon's autopsy showed that at least seven-eighths of his stomach was filled with cancer (communication sites)

Severe suffering

In a report dated June 4, 1818, O'Meara said, “I found a man who was suffering severe physical suffering, a great increase in pain on the right side, a disturbing headache, general anxiety and psychological pressure, hot and dry skin, a rapid pulse, and everything heralded a serious natural crisis ... After he was tormented in the afternoon due to toothache, I had to extract a wisdom tooth from the left upper jaw. "

I die before my time

Napoleon died on May 5, 1821, at the age of 52, after writing in his will the previous month, "I die prematurely. I was killed by the English junta and the hired assassins."

Roberts said an autopsy showed that "at least 7-eighths of his stomach was filled with cancer. We don't know when this cancer began. This letter indicates that it most likely began by June 1818."

The medical report was sold at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas, for £ 1,500.
