Poe died of rabies. It is believed that he got it from one of the several cats that he owned. He was found passed out outside a bar, and he died 3 days later.

I've studied the life of Edgar Allan Poe for years. I feel that John Walsh's bio, Once Upon A Midnight Dreary, answers some of the questions, long since pondered, since his death. Perhaps we'll never know, or maybe tommorow some new evidence will come to light. Walsh feels that he was POSSIBLY murdered by the brothers of Elmira Shelton, Poe's then fiancee. They felt he was intending to marry her for her fortune. As it turned out, nothing was farther from the truth. He truly loved her, but THEY did not or could not know that. Hope this helped.

It is still unknown, but the speculation is that he died of hydrophobia (aka rabies), and that his last words were "May God have mercy on my soul."

MOST LIKELY that Edger died of rabies why: rabies makes a person see things some times, and it alsmo makes a person more trusting and talkitive to people they don't know, it also makes them have sudden out burst of violence Why poe would have it: Poe loved cats and rabies back then was not uncommon in cats, considering it was winter when poe died and rabies is most "alive" in in the winter that also says it could be rabies

Poe was found: poe was found outside a pub in the gutter, he had not been drinkning, at least thats what the medical record says. preveously poe had been missing for 5 days and was just now found at this time. he was taken to a hospital and was there for 4 days 1st day; poe was raveing and talking to things that wern't there (most likely family members he thought were there) he would also talk to any one that walked into his room 2nd day: poe slipped into a coma 3rd day: Poe woke and seemed to be recovering, but was somewhat violent with the doctors 4th day: poe began to rant and rave again becomeing more violent and by dusk he had died

Poe definitely died behind a bar. But, it was not due to drinking, drugs, rabies, diabetes or tuberchulosis. He got worn out after his good time with his mom after getting drunk. After he sobered up, he realized he was a circus freak and got into a fight with a racoon which is how he contracted the rabies. Weak from the fight he collapsed and died there.

You guys are both morons. You probably both go home at night and get it up the butts from your dads. You guys are dumb asses and should be killed by having your dicks ripped off and shoved down your throats.

After getting completely hosed, our pal edgar was furiously beating off to a picture of his dad's butt wart. Weak from arm repetitions he collapsed on a nest of rabid monkeys and was mauled to death.

Poe was in the alley giving blow jobs when he got shot in the eye. He then stumbbled around until he finally fell into a small puddle that had mutated angry sea bass and was soon consumed and died there.
