Jake Sanborn Final Exam

Their are many theories as to why poe died, my first theory was he died of a alcohol poisoning of some kind called,
Hippocambus which happens only when your intoxicated. It makes you see things that arent really their, like an illusion, because
remember when he was in the hospital and reported seeing things on the wall that werent really their. He was also seen in a bar drinking
with someone elses soiled clothes on and to me that seems like behavior of a man that has had a couple beers or two..
Although he didnt have any bites oe scratches on his torso from his cat he still might have had rabies because %15 percent
of the rabies victims said that they dont remember being bitten by the animal but they still got the disease. Yet %24 of these victims could recall an approximate history of animal exposure. So even though their werent any signs their is a srong possibility that Edgar Allen Poe might have had rabies from his cat, which also died after being abandoned by Clemm shortly after Poes death.
But their is also signs that Edgar Allen Poe did not die from alcohol nor Rabies, because they say that Poe could not drink with out becoming sick for weeks and weeks. They say that poe hated drinking and that he was going to quit drinking. So although he showed no signs that he was intoxicated maybe he was mental and had strange things going on that made him see things on the wall. Their is also that maybe he killed himself with all the stress because hes an author so their is a chance that Edgar Allen Poe had rabies, was intoxicated or maybe even had killed himself so in my opinion i think he was drunk and maybe killed himself so those are my thoughts on how Edgar Allen Poe died.....
