reason of his death
-- Anonymous, August 23, 2002
While on a trip to meet a publisher of a magazine, he was pulled from a train at a stop. The local government was having an election but ther rules were every citizen could vote only once. If it were found out that they had someone vote twice, they would be disqualified. They in turn took passers through. Edgar Allen POe was a passer through. They took him to a local bar where they filled him with Long Island Iced Tea. Edgar Allen Poe had an intolerance to Alcohol and died face down in a gutter from drinking too much

Dear EveHow did Edgar Allan Poe die? What were the circumstances that surrounded his death? These and many other questions have been haunting literary researchers for decades. It appeared that we might never get an answer ? There's been no shortage of fantastic ideas about the possible cause of Poe's death and the reason he was found in an apparent state of extreme intoxication at a tavern. We could discuss the connections between Edgar Allan Poe’s story of “The Cask of Amontillado” and the actual life experiences of Poe. From the first Edgar Allan Poe story a person reads, the seed is planted that grows into the question of whether or not the author was as “twisted” as his stories. We could analyzs Poe's reason for writing it in first person, and conclude that we are more likely to sympathize with the narrator, so the shock is all the greater when he turns out to be the villain.
With kind regards

WHILE WALKING IN THE WOODS A GIGANTIC PURPLE RABBIT JUMPED OUT OF AN AIRPLANE ON TOP OF POE. HE WAS ATTACKED AND BITTEN ON THE PINKY TOE OF HIS LEFT FOOT. THE RABBIT HAD RABIES AND THE DISEASE MADE HIM TURN INTO A GIRAFFE. HE WAS SHOT BY POACHERS AND HIS HEAD WAS DISPLAYED IN ASIA WITH OTHER GREEN ELEPHANTS. THIS IS HOW POE DIED. THANK YOU. -BRIAN AND PETER
