Poe's death

Poe's death is very weird and mysterious. its was October 3, 1849 when Joseph W. Walker found a man semi-conscious lying on the ground that man was Poe. Joseph got Poe medical health  but 4 days later he passed. There are many ways this could of happened but let's start first on how he got where he was. A week earlier he was on his way to philadelphia to edit a collection of poems. He never made it to philadelphia. For some unknown reason Poe was at baltimore his home town and that is where he passed away. There are many reasons that might of caused him to pass. beating ,,Alcoholrabies,braintummor ,flu or murder. Each of them have some good support to back them up but none are 100% true and there's no way to prove what the real one is. I believe that the causes of his death was alcohol it is noted that Poe could not handle alcohol he would be drunk from a cup of wine. Poe once fell deathly ill before but was able to heal up. One may think it's because he stopped drinking and him drinking was the cause of his illness .”another such attack would prove fatal." this is a quote from his physician. I believe that he made some “friends” on his way there baltimore and they got his friendship and trust from alcohol. They made him drink and that proved to be fatal for him. This is a very sad death because he tried to turn his life around and stop drinking but in the end that is what killed him.
