There is a theory that he died of Rabies. He might have died of drinking too much alcohol.

Poe, a recurrent alcoholic, was discovered lying outside a pub in Baltimore, trembling and raving. He was diagnosed with Bcongestion of the brainB, and died three days later in a nearby hospital. A 1996 U. Of Maryland Medical Center review of his death (chosen at random, no name attached) suggested rabies (possibly contracted from his own cats), but the history (an alcoholic with h/o depression & attempted suicide, recently binge drinking with old Bdrinking buddiesB) and symptoms (raving & delusional) advocate death by alcohol poisoning. BIf you hear hoofbeats, it COULD be zebrasB but look for horses first.B -- Tam Czarnik, MD
