I believe the story Poe's Final Days is the most believable because it tells you pretty much what happened to him from the time he left Richmond to his death. The storytells you first how he got on the boat and on the boat they have no idea what he was up to. Then he got to Baltimore and in Gunner's Hall he must of been wearing "castoff clothing" because he wasn't wearing his own.
I think he died because of to much alcohol. He was delerious and had tremors. Dr. John J. Moran said he belives he had mania a potu, its an alcoholic state which the victum gets irrational and may become violent. Mania a potu is latin and means "madness from drinking."
In other stories/articles it says Poe had a fever before he left Richmond. And that they think it might be rabies that caused his death. But what I don't get about that is how did he get it. you never know he might of had rabies and alcohol poisoning. He could of been to drunk to know what happend to himself. Its also said in one story he could have been exposed to the wind and rain etc.
So in conclusion i am with the doctors about how he died. All the facts are there. He had almost every symptom. So therefor he must of died from alcohol.

La`Shayda Barnes -- ENG2(8) -FINAL EXAM
Edgar Allen Poe died September 23,1849. His death has remained a mystery for many many years. There is plenty of different articles on Poe`s death. No one really knows how Poe passed.
Some articles say Poe could of had a case of Rabies,Encephalitis. There is no evidence or signs of the disease. Poe had a cat, but she did not test for Rabies. It is worth noting that there was no available vaccine for pest at the time.
Another article says Poe had left Richmond September 27, a Thursday to set ouyt for Baltimore on the 4 a.m steamer. Yet known Poe was announced dead in another article on Sep.23. Joseph Walker saw him at the Gunners hall, a Baltimore Tavern. Poe was strangly dressed and Semiconscious. Family members were called and camer to the Tavern. Poe was not speaking or nothing at all.
Poe was then rushed to a hospital of Washington Medical College. He had a Delirium, a Tremor and a lot of other Diadnosis. Poe may have been to drunk to protect himself from the rain and wind and he was very sick. He was in the hospital for 4 days and was later pronounced dead.

After reading the four theories, two of them are con to the Michael Benitez's theory. They both say that some of the information in the Michael Benitez theory is wrong. The other theory has less contraversy but goes to the point of the explation and proof of Poe's death. In that story it shows the exact dates and times and people that affect Poe's death.
IN Kennth Silverman's story, it has said that at 4 a.m. of September 27, a Thursday. Poe was found on the street dressed strangely and was semiconcious therefore being drunks causes it. Making him more ill was the weather of Baltimore of the wind a rain. It has said that on other ocassions he has been drunk before and acted really differently.
Maybe the gothic windows helped him and his delusion. Alcohol makes people htink of things and ''see'' things. Arrivingat the hospital it was said he looks stupor maybe cause by the alcohol. Another symptom was that he had a pale face and was drenched in sweat. He also talked constantly with jibberish and was very delusional.
After Poe's conditions bettered, he was questioned about his family and his answers were so called "cohereted". Most likely caused by the alchol. Poe was helped by Moran trying to keep him alive and well. After Moran got back POe was very violent.
My reasonings wht the cause of Poe's death has much proof in the text. It is said the the history of his life has many alocholic events. His relatvies were aslo affected by his alcoholism. The many events of his history with alochol may have gave him his toll by dying by it. With all that information, I say that he died of alcoholism and not rabies.

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.

guillermo becerra eng2 final exam
Was close on dying of alcohol poisoning. Near death although no one knows what is the cause of death. They think he died of alcohol poisoning, But I think that they are dumb cause if i was there i would have probably have found out why he died. But they took time on finding out.
And knowing a man that drinks allot probably gets drunk if you drink a lot and alcohol poisoning comes with other things not just one thing that is alcohol poisoning. When you get alcohol poisoning you end up getting sick or a virus in you cause you drank allot. Your stomach goes crazy you can feel it in your stomach.
Poe really dies of rabies but he was at the hospital foe r a long time thinking that he had alcohol poisoning. And really was in the hospital dying of alcohol poisoning. If i was there I would have told him what was he doing that night cause other things have happened. And what happened eofre he drank and why he drank. I would have told him lots of stuff so i can get where ad found out lots of stuff on how he got sick.
He dies of rabies not of alcohol poisoning. In the hospital for a long time. I really think that he died of time and no cures that help. If they would have found out earlier he would have been better and well he would have been here cause that was in the 1800's so he would have died any way. So yeah I think that i would have taking lses time to find out what happened. And if earier there would have been a cure for rabies.

Krystle Tufts Eng2 Final Exam
Everyone thought that Edgar Allen Poe died of rabbies. They also thougth that it was alchol. They said alot of thingslike he got robbed of his colthes and walk into a ditch. I don't think he died from rabbies. I think he died of alchol.
They said that there were no bite wounds of sny animal. They thought the cat had rabbies but they don't know for sure. The doctor said he was yelling at imaginary objects. Yeah rabbies can kill you but they said that rabbies causes you to itch and go numb. Later the doctor said that he had brain damage, usally caused by alchol.
Not only that someone said that he gets abusive when he drinks. If he got mean alot that means he was probably drunk. Maybe the reason why his colthes were ruined is because he probably got into a fight because he was drunk. The doctor said his cat was hungry, starved, and lonely. Maybe the reason why was he was drunk and did not care.
I think the author was trying to figure out what really happened. He was giving evidence on what happened. I think he thought that the rabbies had killed him because he seems to back that up alot and or talk about it. When he talks about the story he makes the alchol faulty and doesn't give alot of evidence on that. The author puts up a good argument that's why I think that the alchol was the cause of Edgar Allen Poe.
