Thomas Midgley, Jr. was a notable American mechanical and chemical engineer recognized for his key role in advancing leaded gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Throughout his career, he obtained over 100 patents. Tragically, in 1944, Midgley’s life ended under puzzling circumstances related to a device he designed to assist him in getting out of bed due to his disability. Initially classified as accidental, the coroner later determined his passing as a suicide.
