Edgar Allan Poe - How Did He Really Die?

By Brian Gray

Edgar Allan Poe, the famous author and poet, was indeed a man of dark mystery. More rumors began after his death than would have been imaginable during his life, but perhaps the one most often circulated was how he actually died. What caused his death? Where are the facts? Was it true that he was found in the streets of Baltimore robbed and drugged, and that he died mysteriously shortly thereafter? The rumors and suppositions surrounding the death of this great writer puzzled me for many years, and I decided to find the facts. I examined the last days of Edgar Allan Poe, his travels and social interactions, even unearthing witness statements from that time regarding his death and burial. On September 15, 1996, the New York Times reported that a prominent cardiologist, Dr. R. Michael Benitez, had demonstrably shown the scientific proofs for the cause of Edgar Allen Poe's death, and those scientific proofs were peer reviewed in the September 1996 issue of the highly respected Maryland Journal of Medicine. It is all here.
