The death of Houston billionaire Howard Hughes

It was April 5th, 1976 when recluse billionaire Howard Hughes was en route from his penthouse in Acapulco to Methodist Hospital in Houston when he died of renal failure. abc13.com/1279496

[@paullangton-rogers2390]

Howard Hughes taking on the US Senate is the stuff of legend. It's astonishing he came out of seclusion faced by then an extreme phobia illness and just owned that hearing.

[@Terribleathletes]

Martin Scorsese's ridiculous film is nowhere near historically accurate. The Senate hearings took place in 1947, Howard's screening room incident didn't occur until 1958. He I don't know why he decided to make it seem like the two events coincided with eachother.

OCD is a crippling illness and it can take your freedom and in some cases friendships and relationships and make you a prisoner in your own home. Howard Hughes was a marvel and is a hero of mine due to his battle with the illness that I too have. ❤

The thumbnail pic of elderly man is not Howard Hughes. Firstly no photos exist of him during the final years of his life when he was total recluse. Secondly as this video describes an eye witness hospital staff account of Hughes body in the hospital morgue describes him having dark scruffy hair which is inconsistent with the almost bald man in the photo.

[@sundelong2727]

He died from long time abuses of drugs , specially addicted to codeine which he injected intramuscularly . That’s one of reason he died from kidney failure . His diets were New York steak every day and no shower for months . His billion dollars couldn’t add one minute of his life .

Howard Hughes lived one hell of a great life when he was younger. He was a prodigious inventor and I think held dozens of patents. He was a genious. After a couple of very serious accidents and a couple of scrapes with the Government, he went into seclusion and just wanted his privacy

[@davehughesfarm7983]

He died in Arkansas.....The real ( elvis left the building)

[@oncall21]

He died from OCD in an age where there was no diagnosis, nor treatment, but only stigma that accused him of being 'an eccentric recluse.' Today things would have been very different for Hughes. Despite this prejudice against him, he was a 'genius' and how he managed to battle OCD while making world records in both film and aviation, fought the corrupt CAB Bill against him, is a testament to the man's 'guts' and fortitude. I'm 52 and I have suffered from OCD since I was 9. In many ways Hughes is my hero as he was never afforded the 'luxury' if you like, of an acceptance and diagnosis that OCD is a medical condition and I still battle with it. He was never given this option and made incredible achievements in spite of his diagnosed OCD. Such a brave man in a time of ignorance at it's worst.

[@Missditabomb]

It was OCD and the resultant DRUG ADDICTION and horrible social skills that caused his death. (And enablers. Including doctors.)

[@maxfrankow1238]

No he didn’t. OCD is an anxiety thing. Not an illness. Might I remind you that he had syphilis, traumatic brain injury and theorized bipolar disorder. He had demons for sure though.

[@terr777]

And yes ,did not have much care for personal wealth. never the less His mind worked Different to most. This probably added to his Genius. Einstein was Dyslexic. Churchill had Bipolar Disorder. Bethoven was deaf. though not a mental illness as such but making the point that the mind Does Brilliant things regardless of ailments!

[@75397]

+ Gary Williams Just don't take the mental illness to extremes with Tesla, I loved the man, he was so ahead of his time, we all would have wireless electricity had he had his way, just don't connect him loving Pigeons as a mental illness, cause that would be a cheap shot.

Im sure he looked bad….he was dead…I felt bad when I watched this…knowing that people wanted to pry into his life all the time. I just wanted to know the year he died and got this video which is a good video just sad.

[@hhhggbg3000]

Being dead was far down the list of reasons he looked bad.

Howard Hughes was a physically broken man after he crashed and needed pain medication and he had brain damage from bouncing it around in the cockpits of shaking planes (of all types and speeds). Could you be anymore insensitive?

[@sheryldalton8965]

@@rinalore9416 yes i could be much more insensitive but i don't want to disturb your delicate sensibilities more than i have already.
