Cause Of Death
  • Poe was found unconscious on Lombard St. in
    Baltimore. He died of unknown causes in
    Washington College Hospital on October 7.
  • Murder Poe was rumored be strongly affected by
    alcohol, and since Poe was very disrespectful he
    might have unknowingly said something to offend
    someone.
  • Cooping Poe was found on election day. He could
    possibly been dressed up differently and bribed
    to vote for the same person multiple times. If he
    did not do this job correctly he could have been
    beaten and suffered from brain trauma.

    there was rattling in his skull which might have
    been a tumor.

  • Alcoholism If Poe consumed even a small amount
    of alcohol his personality changed. Some theories
    believe that because of Virginias death, Poe
    turned to alcohol for comfort.

Most Possible Theory
  • The most possible theory of Poes death is a
    brain tumor. When examining Poes skull the

    peoples thoughts, Poes unusual effects from
    Alcohol might had worsened the tumor.
