Tycho Brahe's death

Have you heard the story of the death of Tycho Brahe? That out of courtesy or pride he didn't leave a banquet table to urinate and his bladder burst, causing his death a few days later?

I just learned that in 1996 forensic and historical analysis concluded that while Brahe had a disorder of the urinary system (probably prostatic hypertrophy), he actually died of mercury poisoning, most likely from the mercury in his home-brewed medicines.
