Quick write- Poe's Death

How do you think Poe died? Support with what you remember from your readings.

I think Poe died from rabies. From the reading they said that Poe might've died from being drunk and accidents happening, but they later on had a hypothesis that Poe died from rabies. The scientists said that Poe had all the symptoms of rabies, and it really could be possible since Poe's death was really sudden. They say that when you get rabies, you don't know it right away. It takes a couple of years for the disease to get to your body, and when it does it spreads quickly and kills you within a couple of days. Knowing that, the same thing happened to Poe. I think it was a coincedence that on the day that Poe died, he was also drunk. And so, because of that, people believe that he died because he was drunk and unconsious. When you look closely at the other facts, it's very likely that Poe died of rabies.
