But his life ended abruptly under mysterious circumstances. Diesel was born in 1858 in Paris to German parents. As a young man, he studied engineering against his family's wishes. After working on refrigeration systems, Diesel became fascinated with engines and their inefficiency. At the time, steam engines were only about 10% efficient and wasted most of their fuel's energy. However, Diesel's mysterious death has fueled much speculation. In 1913, Diesel was traveling by ship to England to meet with a company interested in producing his engines. But his cabin was found empty in the morning, and his hat and coat were found neatly folded near a railing.
