How he died!greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Work of Edgar Allan Poe : One Thread |
OK people obviously nobody knows the real reason of how he died and because the only thing u have to rely on is records that aren't up to date with the technology of today, i mean they could have easily recorded something that is totally wrong, and the accounts of doctors that did not have any of the knowledge that we have today. Ever thought he may have died of something rare that we do not know of or that maybe he did die of some of the suggested things like TB, rabies, alcholism, drug addiction. It is obviouse that tell this day we have no way of proving any of these hypothesises, so stop bickering about his death and spend time on the amazing writings he did when he was alive, not missing, and totally senile. He wrote what he did for people to read he didn't die so that could be discussed instead of his writings!

It is a strange phenomenon that writers often fate their deaths in ways they themselves prefigure or fear. At least Poe was not buried alive(we hope). It is natural that if the creator of the murder mystery should leave his own death a certain puzzle there would be great interest, especially when his peers had nothing mysterious in their own ends. Poe would appreciate the speculation, but as you say there is no real proof except that his general state of health and mind must have been contributing factors to his succumbing.And yes bickering about theories is ridiculous when his works have so much more to offer, especially in the way of tribute to his genius. It is a shame sometimes how much people pry into the private lives of writers who only intended to offer their art to the public. In Poe's case, slander had already done the damage and cruel scutiny of all known details of his life seemed necessary to defend him and deepen appreciation of his maligned works and life.

He died from a depressed life and he wrote in many of his stories poems gave you u an idea of his life and how bad it was he died of sadness and drugs. His life was full of sadness but he worked through it and never became succesful.(wouldnt u die from that i would)So i think that he learned what he came to earth for so we should just enjoy his writings but that is how i thought he died. :)

.... Poe was far more advanced than you may think him to be. For all we know, one day Poe realized that he could do just about anything, and in his attempts to see into the future, he saw a world full of idiots who say things such as "omg i pooped on him n he died hahaha" As if his life was not already depressing enough, this likely sent him into a pivot. Edgar Allan Poe's tragical death was not because of drugs, depression, or murder. He died because he was simply tired of the world.... and he definately didn't want to see it grow into what it is today. =D Doesn't that fill you with glee?

Or maybe it's this site! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Roehm The Nazi party was definently founded by some punks. Now we have a cheap niggardly version in the US called the Nation of Islam. That are a bunch of street punks. Used by Hitler to gain his ends.Their racial philophy is very similar to the Nazis only with the races reversed. And niggers just being reserved as inanimalistic mud people in the case of the Nazis. You will notice WD Fard, The Black Muslims founder, started this horseshit at the same time Hitler took took power. But the NOI shall never gain power, because niggers have no fucking brains, being a punk is not enough!!

I agree with the first original question. WHO CARES? His writings are so spiritual and so unnormal. Think what ever you want on how he died but E.A.Poe was an amazing writer just follow the writing not the way he died.

Ok, first of all, punk is dead. Secondly, if you were punk you wouldnt be talking about shit like niggers because punk isnt about that. Its about unity you fucking piece of nazi white trash. Another thing, you probably listen to shitty punk like... gay shit. If you were real youd listen to Leftover Crack, Choking Victim and Morning Glory(not the gay one). Edgar Allen Poe didnt die because you took a shit on him either. By the way, really creative. At least you could have said something like oh, he died like my grandpa did when he got decapitated from a filing cabinet. Edgar Allen Poe supposably died of politics. He was from leaving the bar just after he had voted. When he walked out of the bar, he was grabbed by politicians, drugged up, forced to change his clothes and vote again. Just imagine dying in someone elses clothes just for a fucking vote.

Well, being totally (what's the word? Itellectual?) serious, i heard that his alcoholism may have disturbed or triggered an enzyme disorder, which could have caused death if untreated. Of course, there's the rabies theory... I like the enzyme one, cause it sounds better... (hee hee) Yet, i also agree: who cares? It's sort of rude to pry into his personal life (or death, for that matter) and try to figure him out... he didn't seem to WANT to be figured out... Oh, by the way... i liked that 'Vampire' one; that was hilarious!! ;P bye.

Poe died from rabies. Six months before he died he was drunk and got bit by a stray cat. He had all the symptoms of rabies: hydrophobia, dizziness, dileriam...just review all the sources. Rabies can exist in a body for up to a year without any symptoms. And Poe couldn't of died from alcoholism because he quit drinking six months before his death.

okay, i believe he died of depression. He had a very sad life, and his writings show it.PS: can you please stop writing stupid remarks, as of: 'I pooped on him' 'He died in my hands' 'He died just leave him alone'
So please if you do have information, please make it informative.
Thank you

This is the story I have heard for over 40 years. There was a local election being held in Baltimore, and Poe - broke and an alcoholic - offered to sell his vote for a drink. This worked so well, he kept repeating this ruse until he passed out drunk and died. Further, I have heard that his death so shocked the public, that it became illegal to sell booze on election day, a law that was repealed about 20 years ago. Who told me this? Well the first person was my high school English teacher. I also heard it from a liquor store owner, and if you can't believe one of them, well, who can you believe?

He died, everybody dies eventually. so if you people will stop making stupid remarks and just enjoy his wonderful poems and stories. I personally like the Raven and the Bells. And further more, if you have nothing educational to contribute than don't contribute! Keep you comments to yourself! How would you like it if someone was dwelling on your personal life (i know he's dead but still) its disrespectful even if he's dead!

Here lies the bottom line on Poe's death...though most will disagree and argue because THEY DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE what I am about to write! These will die, too...and discover...too late...that God's Word has always been the truth...although they rejected it as being such! POE'S DEATH IS TRACED DIRECTLY TO THE FACT THAT HE...LIKE EACH EYE THAT WILL GAZE UPON THIS VERY WRITING...IS BORN A SINNER AND THE PENALTY OF SIN IS DEATH... DEATH IS COMING TO ALL OF US...WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR YOUR LIFE AFTER THIS PHYSICAL DEATH?THE MOST FAMOUS MAN TO EVER LIVE..ACCORDING TO ALL RELIABLE SOURCES... WAS A MAN NAMED JESUS CHRIST! HE IS THE ONLY FAMOUS PERSON TO EVER STATE THAT HE WAS ETERNAL LIFE..AND THEN...HAVE ALL THE NATURAL AND SUPERNATURAL FACTS BACK UP HIS STATEMENTS!
HE SAID MANY WOULD NOT RECEIVE HIM AS TRUTH...SO MANY OF YOU WON'T BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO! THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO LIVE FOREVER HAVE ONLY ONE CHOICE... RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS WHO HE SAID HE WAS...THE WAY HOME...THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE...THE ETERNAL LIFE OUR CREATOR DESIRES TO OFFER ALL OF US...EVEN YOU WHO WILL DIE...REJECTING HIS LOVE! All OF YOU WILL BE A BELIEVER ONE DAY...BUT ACCORDING TO HIS WRITTEN WORD...YOU HAD BETTER BELIEVE BEFORE YOU DRAW YOUR LAST...DYING BREATH! I SURE HOPE OLE POE DID!

Edgar Allan Poe was a poet. and a psyco, its true. but most of best work is its best BECAUSE he was a psyco! This man was a genius! Half of him was pure geius , the other half was completely craziness! But the man created somethings that some people could never forget. Not simply because they'er odd and his work makes you filled with turmoil . But BECAUSE his work is so odd that it makes you remember what you read for a lifetime! For example , "THE BLACK CAT" or "THE TELL TALE HEART." those are stories I read in the 5th grade. And now , about 4 years later , I can still remember how it started , how it ended and the one i pronounced wrong and what page in my book it was . Mr. Poe was an interesting man. For sure!

He died from people wondering how he was going to die and constantly asking him kept him up all night. He was found in a gutter not del;ierious but with an actue case of SDR (sleep-deprivation- retartedness [u no when u stay up way tooo late and get like fucking ADHD and laugh at the smallest things for like 5 hrs?])k?

I have to agree with Beth Rocks... We should really concentrate on his work when he was alive. Though, his death was an interesting thing, it was quite nomral and... well, boring. To sum it up, he was drunk, became ill, died. That's it!!
