How did Princess Sissi, Queen of Austria, die?

From 65438 to 0898, Princess Sissi was assassinated by Italian anarchist Luigi Luccini in Geneva, and died unfortunately.

1898, 60-year-old Cece went to Geneva, Switzerland anonymously, but someone inside the hotel leaked the news that the Queen of Austria was a hotel guest. 1September 1988 10 afternoon 1.35, Hong Chen and her maid Irma Sztáray left the hotel. They walked along the lakeside road in Montreux, ready to board the Geneva ship bound for Montreux. Because Cece doesn't like too many people marching together, her entourage has taken the train to the neighboring Territet in advance.

Just then, Luigi Luccheni, a 25-year-old Italian anarchist, approached them, staring at the Queen's sun umbrella. According to Irma Starry's description, when the ship honked and left, Luccheni seemed to trip and move his hand, as if trying to keep his balance. In fact, Luccheni stabbed Cece with a 4-inch (100 mm) sharp file inserted in a wooden handle.

Luccini originally planned to assassinate Philip, Duke of Orleans, who coveted the French throne, but Philip left for Valais early. When Leccheney learned from a newspaper in Geneva that this elegant lady traveling in Geneva under the name of "Countess Hornames" was the queen of Austria, Leccheney, who could not find Philip, decided to assassinate Cece.

After being attacked by Luccheni, Cece fell to the ground and a coachman helped her up. A man named Planner noticed that the Queen was still walking towards the Geneva ship. The two women walked towards the gangway for about 100 yards (9 1 meter) and boarded the boat. The starry sky released Cece's arm. After that, the queen lost consciousness and fell beside the starry sky.

Starry called the doctor, but only a former nurse and a passenger on the boat could help Cece. The captain of this ship doesn't know Cece's true identity. Because it was very hot on the deck, he persuaded the countess to go ashore and take her companion back to the hotel. But by this time the ship had sailed out of the port. Three people carried Cece to the top deck and put it on the bench. Starry took off Cece's long coat, and she cut off the lace of Cece's bra so that Cece could breathe.

Cece woke up a little. Starry asked Cece if she was in pain, and Cece replied "No". Then she asked, "What's the matter?" After asking, I lost consciousness again.

Starry noticed a small brown spot on the upper left of the queen's chest. Cece still didn't regain consciousness, and the panicked starry sky showed her identity to the captain, and the ship immediately returned to Geneva. Six sailors put Cece on a simple stretcher and carried her back to her hotel.

With the help of the hotel manager's wife, a visiting nurse and Starry, Cece was stripped of her clothes and shoes. At this time, Starry noticed a few drops of blood and a small wound. When they carried Cece from the stretcher to the bed, Cece was obviously dead.

Later, Dr. Golly, Dr. Meyer and a priest also came to the hotel. In order to confirm whether the queen died, Meyer cut the artery in Cece's left arm and found no blood. At 2 pm 10, Cece was declared dead. Everyone knelt down and prayed for her soul. Starry closed Cece's eyes and crossed her hands.
