Astronomer with nutty idea of how the universe worked. His own notes and careful observations disproved his own theory, giving Kepler the information he needed. Also had a silver (?) nose because he got it cut off in a duel, I think. And allegedly died at the table because he could not get up to go to the toilet.
Silver and gold and probably copper too. Recent investigations suggest he died of mercury poisoning rather than uremia.

I had this same thought, except mine was when the scientist was brought up in my physics class.

I suppose it's probably worth mentioning that the cause of his death is now considered different
