About the assassination of Queen Elisabeth: At 1:35 p.m. on Saturday, September 10th, Elisabeth and her Hungarian lady-in-waiting, Countess Irma Sztáray left the hotel on the shore of Lake Geneva on foot to catch the steamship Genève for Montreux. They were only a hundred meter far from the harbour when Lucheni was marching towards them. They moved aside but then he raised his right fist and measured a powerful punch to the Empress’ chest, who collapsed hitting her head against the pavement. However, her tightly braided hair soothed the fall. Not having felt the stab, the Empress was convinced that the stranger had wanted to take her watch. She got up and hurried to the ship where she collapsed a few minutes after the departure. Countess Irma Sztáray untied the unconscious Elisabeth's corset, and only then she saw a small triangular scar and dried blood drops over the left breast. It became clear to her that her Majesty was assassinated. The Empress fell into a coma a few minutes to two o’clock, and she passed away at twenty to three. Doctors were called in but they could not help. She died of internal bleeding and did not suffer much. According to the medical opinion, Elisabeth could walk towards and board the ship on her own feet not being aware of the stab because the bleeding of the narrow-opened wound had not started immediately and the blood had been seeping slowly through the pericardium. That's because of the tight corset she was wearing. Elisabeth died as she wished: far from all she loved, quickly, without suffering. She foretold her death when saying that her soul would leave through a little gap in her heart.
