Zuleica Hernandez eng2 Final Exam

They say Edgar Allan Poe did not die drunk. They said,'' it might of been rabies. He was supposeably been at a bar the day before he was unconcious. They had found him the day after and he was found at the bar unconcious. That day they took him to the hospital. He had new symptoms everyday until 4 days from the day he was found he died.

They had said,'' that poe was sensitive to alcohol. When he was young he would drink alot. He watched his drinking. So there was no way he had died drinking. He would refuse alcohol or water he would have difficulty drinking it. They studyed that about one fourth of rabie victims cannot remember bieng bitten.

They say poe almost surely did not die of alcohol poisioning or withdrawal. He was so sensitive to alcohol that a glass of wine would get himill for days. So i think that he might gotten bittin by something that had contained rabies. And didnt show until a while. The symptoms of rabies dont show i think till a year later from having it.

What i think happened was that maybe the cat he had may have contained rabeis. And had probably bit him or scrathed him. They saud that one or poes family members left the cat in bronx . The cat then later died of starvation. I think he did have rabies and died from it.
