No I believe that Poe is not still alive today, because he was at a high point in his carreer and would not of faked a death and gave it all up. I believve that he overdosed on drugs or alcohol.

Poe lived during the Romantic era, which was around 1800-1850. Although many authors flourished, it is Poe who everyone always seems to know ("The Raven" seems to be a education objective!). He died in 1848 from "congestion of the brain" - granted many conspiracies circle his death. So to answer your question, NO Poe is not still alive.

Go to celebrity morgue, (There is a link through rotten.com on the "links page") there is a picture of him in his casket. He's not only dead, he is probably nothing but bones now.

Poe is definatley dead when we're talking physically, but his established Gothic Lit characteristics live on through literature as well as motion pictures.

Poe was found in Baltimore, Maryland, semi-concious, in 1849. The chances of him digging his way out of a coffin and living quietly for over 150 years is impossible without technology that we won't have for at least 50 more years!
