Blanca Reyes ENG 2(8)-FINAL EXAM

I think that Poes death was caused from drinking. While reading one of the passages while I dont believe that drinking can make you that siverly dilusional. It was probly enough to make him carless against the weather witch to me seems more realistic and possible.
The reason I have come to believe that Rabies was not the cause of death is because I think he would have died sooner. Not only because he would have had the poison inside of his body but his body probly wouldnt have been able to handle it while also trying to stay alive against the rain and wind.By then i think that his body would have given out.
If it would have also been Rabies I believe the hospital would have reacted differently to help him. And in the artical that followed Poe the most wand gave more detail about his behavior. It had no information about him suffering from wounds. It just seems like a story that was over exagerated over time with barly any evedence.
Poes death was more likly to have been caused from Alchohal poisioning , and Hypothermia in the late stages. The Rabies story also doesnt give logical reasoning that would make it more believe able . The story lacks to much evedence and contains tomany gaps. Which is why i believe he didnt die from it.
