Isadora Duncan's fondness for flowing scarves (as seen in this image) was the cause of her death in an automobile accident in Nice, France, on the night of September 14, 1927, at the age of 50.
Duncan was a passenger in the automobile of Benoît Falchetto. When Falchetto drove off Duncan's large hand-painted silk scarf from the Russian-born artist Roman Chatov draped around her neck and became entangled with one of the vehicle's open-spoked wheels and rear axle braking her neck.
