Eliot Ness was the head of the Untouchables. It seems odd that he raided stills and breweries during prohibition, but that he died at an early age that may have been prevented had he not been an alcoholic.

I guess irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

Many people believe that Ness's failure to catch the Cleveland Torso Murderer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Torso_Murderer - and the subsequent loss of public support contributed greatly to Ness's alcoholism.
