The Cause of Poe’s Death By: David Anthony

I think that the way that Edgar Allan Poe died was by rabies he got from his cats. In Poe’s time, animals were not given a rabies shot. This makes the chances of any of his cat’s getting rabies, and biting Poe. Also, Poe was so angry and mad at the world that he wouldn’t have told anyone about his sickness anyways, which just shows that he died from rabies.

He also showed symptoms of rabies right before he died. When he was at the hospital, Poe was delirious and went Unconscious into a coma. A few days later, when he came out of his coma he was fine and could talk normally to people. Usually, people in the final stages of rabies have stages when they’re crazy and delirious and then a few days later they are completely fine.

These facts are all unnignorable and most likely prove that the cause of Edgar Allan Poe’s death was rabies that he received from his cat.
