This Wikipedia article almost reads as an onion spoof. He was treated for lead poisoning at least twice. He contracted polio and invented a series of ropes and pullies to assist him and his family to get him out of bed which ended up strangling him to death. It seems that GM(who he worked for)is largely responsible for inventing what are arguably the worst compounds for the planet other than the nuclear bomb. Absolutely astonishing read.
