The night he had been found laying in a gutter hurt and passed out he may have been poisoned. Also they used to say Poe would get drunk off of one drink of champagne so he could have over drank. https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306387899 2018-11-20 15:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306387899 Flu https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306387919  I think the most believable theory for Poe’s death was flu because Poe had a flu and before he was leaving Richmond he visited a doctor and he said not to travel because Poe was too sick. ]]> 2018-11-20 15:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306387919 Kenzyl https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306387962 My theory is that Poe died from rabies. While at the hospital he refused to drink alcohol and only drank water with great difficulty. While in the hospital he grew confused and started hallucinating.]]> 2018-11-20 15:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306387962 Brain tumor https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306387985 I think its a brain tumor because ]]> 2018-11-20 15:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306387985 Heavy metal poisoning https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306387991 My theory is heavy metal poisoning because people did tests on Poe's hair and it turns out that his arsenic levels were 15 times the normal amount today while his lead lead levels were 4 times the normal amount today. This is what i think killed Edgar Allen Poe.]]> 2018-11-20 15:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306387991 Cooping lridde2 https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306388115 Was well explained, nice evidence Hannah!]]> 2018-11-20 15:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306388115 my theory is that he died of a brain tumor due to they found a mass rolling around in his skull which was to old to be his brain since the brain is one of the first things to rot after death https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306388165 2018-11-20 15:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306388165 Brain tumor i think its a brain tumor because he died with brain swelling and they found something in his coffin https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306388427 2018-11-20 15:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306388427 COOPING https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306389411 I believe that it is cooping because it was a really popular thing to do.

Also it was raining when Poe came to Baltimore and the rain and cold made the flu more worse and that could lead to pneumonia. ]]> 2018-11-20 15:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306392184 The hospital had released that the cause of his death was brain swelling which could've been a tumor and he had interesting behavour before his death . https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306393003 2018-11-20 15:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306393003 murder https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306393016 I think murder because the books he wrote attack other writers and they felt threat so the other writers had a plan to kill Poe before he gets killed ]]> 2018-11-20 15:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306393016 Kenzyl https://padlet.com/lridde2/e46gqtbmeo3y/wish/306393548 I believe that Poe surely did not die from alcohol.
