Edgar Allan Poe was born in 1809 and died in 1849 of disease related to alcoholism. In 1836 he married his 13- year-old cousin, Virginia Clemm, whose death 11 years later inspired the poem Annabel Lee. Poe's career ranged from Richmond, Virginia, where he edited the Southern Literary Messenger, to New York, where he ran The Broadway Journal. He is buried in Baltimore, Maryland.

hope u find this information helpful

The mysteries and lost data of his death are presented very well at www.eapoe.org. Without real evidence all we have is informed speculation of your choice, rabies for some reason being a new theory aggressively put forward. Intriguing but consequential?

Edgar Allen Poe was a very very Extravagant writer. If anyone Thinks He's not you obviously are an ignorant uneducated fool!!!

His death was most probably related to his drinking, but this does not rule out other possiblities. It's easy to blame alcohol because of what we know about Poe, but who knows?

By the way, I believe this is a serious discussion about Edgar Allan Poe, and saying he "sucks big cock" or whatever is juvenile and quite frankly, stupid. If you don't have the capacity to read and enjoy Poe, don't post anything.

Edger Allen Poe was a great writter that had a hard life and turned to drinking for an answer.he was found outside a bar dead dressed in someone elses clothes dead.most people think that he died from drinking to much but i think it was much more then that .i dont see how being dressed in someone elses clothes relates to drinking but thats just my opinoin.

I read somewhere that poe was saying something about talking to a scientist and then stopped suddenly and said "God rest my soul" and just died. The one I hear mostly though is that he passed out in a train station and then died in the hospital, but no one knows what he died from.

i think that edgar allan poe died from drinking wine. also there is another reason for edgar to die is that no one from the one's that he loves is still alive. when edgar loves anybody he dies after edgar loves hom in a short time.

Edgar Allan died from drinking , loss of families , wanting to die , suiside and rabies.

I don't belive that Edgar Allan Poe died from drinking because he was allergic to alcohol and probably die from a brian tumor.

I think that Edgar died of unhappiness and lonliness. he might have died drinking, too. it's hard to know what happened when you have so many people telling you and idiots making fun of him. i think who ever thinks Poe was gay or whatever, then you can just go screw your moma 5 million times.

well this is what i think about all of you.you are all acting like little kids. If you want to talk your crap like that go somewhere else. You all need an education. to the ones who critize poe your all just mad that you cant write like he could. So before you put him down; learn the facts first

Wow! Some of these posts are so far off the scope of the original question, it makes me wonder what we're all coming to. The worst of you could very easily be characters in Poe's storys, being somehow twisted and lost to civility and basic human nature.

As to the question that he was married to or 'with' his cousin, even any fool should know that in that day and age and long into the distant past, marrying cousins was a matter-of-coarse and not at all uncommon. Most likely, you are all products of some such congress, and your ignorance and phobia strike me as particularly confirming in this opinion.

Concerning his literary genuis, you will be hard pressed to find anything in your own reading repetoir that comes even close to his stature (most of you, that is), or even, that rises above pure doggerel at all. Quite simply, his tales are not only entertaining as concepts but told with such flare and style as to firmly fix his place among the greatest writers in human history.

Last, how did he die? I beleive it was alchoholism, citing only the majority of reports that agree thusly.

If you cannot appreciate Poe, then perhaps you should first learn to read and secondly, work quickly to raise that proficiency beyond the 'Golden Books' and 'Nancy Drew'. To do otherwise, opening your mouths to spout out disgusting filth and garbage will only be forever, your eternal witness to the world that you are incredibly stupid and ignorant.

Edgar Allan Poe, being one of my favorite writers, does not deserve this type of criticism (referring to the "gay" comments). To answer the original question, I would like to say that Poe's death is merely a mystery; a mystery that, in my opinion, we should just leave alone. All we can do is cherish his well written poems, as gruesome as they may seem.

Though this topic hasn't been brought up in this message board, I would like to inform all of you that Poe lived a very hard, troublesome life. His father deserted the him at and his mother died when he was just a young boy. These tragedies can stain a person's life forever. So, those of you that posted those cruel and unsympathetic words, should read a biography on Poe. And if you do, I guarantee that you will regret what you said about him.

he got fucked in the ass so hard he started bleeding out his mouth and cum was driping out his nose and started pissing out his ears and was shiting out he eyes and sucked to much cock

I read that he was an alcoholic and that someone found im in the rain, face down, dead, in a gutter or something. I personally think he dies of depression, and maybe even susicide.Well it seems no one is actually sure. But, I'm writing a report on him now, and if anyone can comment on this. Please e-mail me back- You guys are immature. Other people don't want to read the trashy comments. Grow up! PiinkParadiis143@aol.com... x0x Heather x0x

He died of rabies, possibly, but that is only the latest in a series of theories. Me probably died of alcohol withdrawl which is even nastier than heroin withdrawl. Were any of his last words: snakes, I got snakes crawling on me or I see bugs crawling all over the walls?"
