Deaths caused by the Doctrine of Humors [closed]

Question

In your own knowledge, how many people do you know (in history) that died because of the false belief of Humorism?

I don't think that asking to compile a list matches Stack Overflow's format. Fact is, there are many thousands people who died of such mistreatments. Even if you look at the famous ones, there are probably hundreds. But there are no statistics on that (cannot be) if that's what you are looking for.
I'd almost suggest a wiki page for this sort of thing, which has been useful in other SE forums...not sure about the fit here though. I'd want to know what the purpose was, a list for a list sake doesn't seem that useful.
This stands to be a grabbag... Famous people that folks remember dying. You'd do better to outline what you're researching and how this fits into it, so that we can help you devise an answer to that.
