The line "It is unlikely that the dressing room incident caused Houdini's eventual death, since the effects of sustaining blunt trauma alongside appendicitis is debated in medical literature" is followed up with no links that support the actual statement that it is unlikely. At best, it is unknown. The TSACO article that is attached does not say that blunt trauma cannot exacerbate the effects of appendicitis, it only says that blunt trauma cannot *cause* the appendicitis. So it is misleading to insinuate that this article supports the idea that it is "unlikely" that the blunt trauma to the stomach caused Houdini's eventual death.

At the start of the lede it shows his name as "Erik Weisz", but in the "Early life" section is says, when his family came to America, his family's last name changed from "Weisz" to "Weiss" and Harry's name "Ehrich" changed to "Erik". This would imply his name was originally "Ehrich Weisz" and then in America it became "Erik Weiss". The name in the lede, then, would be a blend of both of these (his new first name mixed with his old last name). Shouldn't we use either one or the other in the lede, not a blending of both (or alternatively, give one followed by "also" and then the other)? — al-Shimoni (talk) 15:01, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
