Spanish Prince Who Died in 1370 Was Not Poisoned

Preliminary forensic tests conducted on the mummified body of 14th century prince found the 7-year-old may not have been poisoned by an uncle, as historians have suspected for centuries, a newspaper reported Saturday.

The preliminary tests indicated that Prince Sancho de Castilla may have died in 1370 of a lung infection after chronic exposure to smoke, likely to have come from a fireplace, El Pais reported.
