Actually that was tuberculosis that people called "consumption." But that might actually be more appropriate, as it was the disease that killed from the inside but left one pretty on the outside (for the standards of the time). Except for the easily hidden bloody handkerchief, it was one of the prettier, more romantic ways to die (from an observer's standpoint, I suppose).
