Answers

Two guesses.

One that Poe ran afoul of a voting fraud press gang, was plied with drink, taken around to multiple polling places and abandonned when he got ill. the state of his replaced clothes, the election that week, etc. are clues.

Hotly defended is the new theory of rabies. Poe as cat lover and other possible sources of contagion. His symptoms and state of mind. Does not explain the clothing substitution.

1. He overdosed while using his opium. That might explain the "congestion of the brain" bit.

2. He might have been sick, I don't think he was a phsycially strong man to deal with illness. He disappeared for three days and showed up in a gutter in the state that he would die in.

the answer would have to be that his heart stopped and the brain stopped. Then, of course he died.

Many think that he fist died of alchohol overdosing. One suggestion, and there is proof, is that he may have died of rabies. Another is that it was alcholism and congestion of the brain.

P.S. Poe was an absolute animal lover and owned many cats during his lifetime. So the rabies was entirely possible.

The Poe Toaster is a guy who leaves behind half drunk bottles of cognac at Poe's grave on a certain date each year.
