analyzed independently by a panel of five forensic anthropologists, including Dr. Tim White, Dr. Alison Galloway, Dr. Mark Griffin, Dr. P. Willey and Dr. Eric Bartelink. All five concluded that two of the larger fragments, erroneously identified in 1986 by the Viennese physicians Hans Bankl and Hans Jesserer as fragments of a human parietal, were fragments of a human frontal bone. As these fragments lacked Beethoven’s diagnostic craniotomy cut from his autopsy, it was unanimously agreed that the frontal bone fragments could not have originated from Beethoven. The portion of Beethoven’s frontal bone corresponding to the cranial fragments then under examination were furthermore described in considerable detail, and measured three times, during Beethoven’s second exhumation in 1888, twenty-five years after their purported theft in 1863. The authenticity status of the third large cranial element, the squamous of a human occipital, was not conclusively arrived at by this panel of forensic anthropologists. However, the squamous of Beethoven’s occipital is also listed among the cranial elements recovered during Beethoven’s second exhumation in 1888, and salient features of the squamous of Beethoven’s occipital (e.g. the curvature of the squamous on the horizontal plane; the overhang of the occipital) are likewise described in this same 1888 exhumation report.

ongoing HBV infection at the time those hairs were forming, estimated to have been most likely in ca. 1826. Owing to the limited sensitivity of the HBV analyses, the authors could not determine the nature, period of onset, or origin of Beethoven’s HBV infection, but suggest that a chronic infection was nonetheless more probable than an acute infection. They concluded that a lifelong infection would have been a strong driver of liver disease, no doubt exacerbated by alcohol consumption and genetic risk, while an infection later in life would have been of debatable relevance.

HĂĽttenbrenner's eyewitness report is sometimes recast to imply that Beethoven "shook his fist at the heavens" in the moment before death. Since any imputations as to the dying man's emotional state are impossible to verify, they tend to be glossed over or ignored as irrelevant by modern Beethoven scholars. 285:. Beethoven's brain was described as possessing "exaggerated folds", an excess of fluid in the skull, and some thickening of the membranes inside the left ventricle. Scholars believe he may have had a degree of cerebral atrophy, although he showed no sign of cognitive impairment to the end. The skull was described as "possessing unusual thickness". 2166: 613:
