After his death and burial, Newton was exhumed so he could be buried in a more prominent location in [[Westminster Abby]].  During this exhumation process, it was discovered that Newton had large amounts of mercury in his body, probably as a direct result of his [[alchemy|alchemical]] experiments.  Exposure to large amounts of mercury may explain Newton’s eccentricity in his latter years, as well as his cause of death.  <ref>Newton Biography[http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Newton.html]</ref>
