[FR] François Antommarchi (1780-1838) fut un médecin français.
Né en Corse, il professa l'anatomie à Florence, et fut attaché en 1820 au service de Napoléon, prisonnier à Sainte-Hélène.
Il l'assista dans ses derniers moments, refusa de signer le procès-verbal d'autopsie dressé par les chirurgiens anglais, et publia après son retour en Europe Les mémoires du docteur F Antommarchi ou les derniers moments de Napoléon (Paris, Barrois L'ainé Libraie ainsi qu'à Londres chez H Colburn 1825).
[EN] Dr. François Carlo Antommarchi began his studies in Livorno, Italy, and later earned the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and Medicine at the University of Pisa on March 1808. Antommarchi then went to Florence, Italy, and was attached to the Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova.
Antommarchi left Florence for Saint Helena to become Napoleon Bonaparte I's physician until his death at the behest of Napoleon's mother Maria Letizia Ramolino and his uncle Cardinal Joseph Fesch. Antommarchi received a letter of employment on 19 December 1818. Antommarchi was part of a team of physicians which included Dr. Barry Edward O'Meara, Dr. Alexander Baxter, and Dr. Francis Burton. However, Antommarchi was a trusted by Napoleon who thought of Antommarchi's British counterparts as spies. After Napoleon's death, Antommarchi wrote The Last Moments of Napoleon where he concluded that Napoleon died of stomach cancer.
Antommarchi immigrated to Louisiana where he donated the bronze death mask of Napoleon to the people of New Orleans in 1834.
Antommarchi died in Cuba, of yellow fever, in April 3, 1838, at the age of 57.
