Melissa,

Try the URL adress http://www.eapoe.org/geninfo/poedeath.htm There is a pretty good discussion on this topic. It is referred to as the Cooping Theory of Edgar Poe's mysterious death. There are other theories discussed as well.

A Week Before Poes Death, He Gave A Weak Performence In Baltamore, And Shortly, He Was Discribed As Missing, And They Soon Found Him On A Bultimore Street, Wearing Another Mans Clothing, Druged Out Of His Mind. They Beleive That He Was The Victim Of Political Voting, See, Political Leaders Would Hire People To Stalk And Find Members Of The Town, Drug Them, Then Make Them Frequently Vote, Then Throw Him On The Street When Done. Therfore He MAY Have Been Involved With A FORCED Voting Scam, Not At His Own Will, And Thats Even If He WAS Part Of It, He May Have Known His Death Was Comming So He Druged Up! On The Day They Found Him, He Was Taken To The Colege Of Boltimore Hospital, Then, A Few Days Later, He Regained Concisness And Said "God Help My Soul" He Then Died.

Peace, Double D
