In the four arguments that I have read about Edgar ALlen Poe's death, I have come to the conclusion that the cause for his death was Alcoholism and not rabies.
I think this because Poe had a fever when he left Richmond. He got drunk and he was found outside of a Baltimore tavern strangely dressed and semi-concious. This could have gotten him extremly sick because the weather was wintery while he was outside.
The stories that claim that Edgar Allen Poe had Rabies I think are wrong. The reason why I think this is because he didn't have a scratch or any wound to say that an animal with rabies had attacked him. If it was a long time ago that he had been bitten it could have affected him any time after he was bitten so the probability to him dieing from rabies isn't likely. His cat also was not found to have rabies. Alcoholism and exposure to the elements were far more likely.
What poe had was cerebral inflamation that was caused by to much exposure to the wintery weather outside of the tavern which he didn't care about since he was drunk and semi- concious. He eventually died in a hospital after behaving extermely delerious.
This is why I think it wasn't rabies that killed him but alcoholism and exposure to the elements. Many people die from alcogol related incidents. Poe was probably one of them.

Carlos Martinez ENG2(8) - FINAL EXAM
Edgar Allen Poe, the famous poet was well known for his writing. But is also an unsolved case in the subject of death. There are two theory about his death, the theory of him having rabies, and the theory he was drunk outside a bar in the rain with a fever. After reading four stories, two on him being an alcoholic, and two on him having rabies, I believe that he was an alcoholic. Edgar Allen Poe was found outside a Baltimore bar with beaten up clothes, half conscious, and was outside in the rain with a fever. Edgar was taken to the hospital where he was acting delirious, and was claimed to have been talking to imaginary objects on the wall. His behavior wasn't normal, he was very sick. In the hospital his face was pale and was drenched in sweat. With the rabies theory, some evidence is well supportive and some of it isn't. The symptoms of rabies were sweating, paleness, and being delirious, but those could also have been cause form his cat, which didn't have rabies. And when he was found there without a scratch. Victim with rabies said that they didn't remember being bitten. Also rabies didn't react right away, rabies could start showing symptoms in the matter of years. But he had a cat called Caterina which didn't have have rabies. How could he have gotten rabies without a bite or scratch. I concluded this saying the alcohol was the case. Edgar Allen Poe was found outside a Baltimore bar, eith beaten up clothes, a fever, and half conscious. Evidence of rabies was also evidence of his fever. He was found without a bite or a scratch. Therefore he had to have died from alcohol.
Blanca Rivera Eng2(8)-final exam
I think "Poe's Death Is rewritten As Case Of RabiesNot Telltale Alcohol" has the most truth about how Poe really died because the other stories just say somethings about how Poe died but doesn't really make any sense.
In this story says that it was true that they Poe was seen in the bar in Lombard street in October 1849, deliriouse but possibly wearing someone's elses soiled clothes and it is said that Poe wasn't drunk.
but in the other stories they say that they saw him in Lombard street inOctober 1849, and he was drunk but i don't believe that he was drunk because someone can be in a bar and not drink or he could've been standing outside waiting for someone.
So in this story it is said that when he was calm and awake he refused to drink alcohol and could drink water only with great difficulty so it is said that Rabies victims frequently exhibit hydrophobia, or fear of water, because it is painful to swallow.
Sothat means that he didn't have Rabies because if he did he wouldn't be able to drink any water because it would hurt him really bad.

Justin Ruedy Eng 2(8) - Final Exam
In turn, I would agree that Edgar Allen Poe had died of alcohalism. Said so in an excert from his biography. This is so because it supports evidence of him previously being an alcohalic; saying on several occasion that he would stop drinking to his wife and mother-in-law. He had continued to drink anyway.
In another article it says in later life he would become violently ill after a single drink. It says nothing about this at a younger age. This has left me to believe that previous drinking has damaged his organs immensely, causing drinking for him to be dangerous.
I believe that Poe, with being sensitive to alcohal, seeming to have recently been robbed, was put in a horrible state of mind and decided to drink at a bar to the point where it would soon kill him.
In his drunken state where he was found he became ill, Poe was soon sent to a hospital. Undercare he soon became much more ill as days passed. This caused dellirium and soon caused his organs to shut down. He lost all energy and died after shouting "Lord, help my soul."
Although there are rumors of him dying of such rabies and other possible incidents. I agree with his doctor that he was deceased of alcohal poisoning. Leaving the great Edgar Allen Poe dead.

Trevor Bach ENG2(8) Final Exam
The death of Edgar Allen Poe was deemed as death by alcohol or deemed as death by rabies. I support the alcohol side. The rabies side seems to work but the alcohol side fits better. When he died in 1849 we know he died in a hospital, he stayed for four days until death.
The original theory was that Poe died due to alcohol. it was reported that he had problems with alcohol. he drank to much, but on the flip side it also made him ill. so my theory is that he drank to much as always and as expected it made him ill, so was out side in the rain and wind drunk and ill, with no protection against the harsh weather he got more and more ill until found. but when they found him he was to ill to recover.
The rabies story kind of fits, but has to many holes. like it was said that the cat could have given him rabies, but it also says that the butler had gotten rid of the cat three months prior to poes death. And when he was in the hospital they would have noticed any scrathces or bites on him leading to the rabies.
Now I say it was alcohol because he was reported to have been seen already with a fever leaving Richmond. And said he didn't remember the trip back at all. So he could have stopped off at a bar, got plowed and got ill from the alcohol and stayed out side in the rain and wind without protection, and gotten gotten much to sick to recover even in the hospital. so he died.

Alejandro Ramirez ENG 2(8) - FINAL EXAM
The death of teh famous writer Egar Allen Poe was said to be that he was an alchoholic. As well they say that he might of also died by rabbies. But me I say he died by drinking to much. Becouse the rabbiesis hard to say and thealchohol one seems much better.
Isay it was becouse all the drinking Poe did. Becouse he already had some problems with alchohol. And also that his health was not to good and he kept on drinking. It has to be that he died died from drinking becouse there was no evidence of rabbies. So thats why I say he died of alchohol.
But you still think he died of rabbies lets see. They found no scratch or a bite of the cat he had. And the cat died of starvation not becouse that the cat had rabbies. So there is no evidence why Poe died of rabbies. So Edgar Allen Poe must of died becouse of alchohol while having health problems.
Back to why Egar Allen Poe died of alchohol not the rabbies. Well in 1849 when Poe was found died they say that they found Poe outside of a saloon. And there is sure to be alchohol in the saloon he died outside of. So there is a lot of evidence why Poe died of alchohol.

Bonnie Croom ENG2(8)-Final Exam
Michael Benitez claims that Edgar Allen Poe died because of rabies. Benitez is a reliable cardiologist. He admits he saw Poe at a bar but claims Poe was not drunk. Beniitez thinks Poe is f accused of bad conduct.
Poe was admitted at the Washington College Hospital. By the second day Poe was hallucinating and shouting at things that weren't there. By the third day Poe couldn't remember what he was doing the night before. On the fourth day he was still confused. He was having angry mood swings. Poe calmed himself down for a while but then later that day he died.
Before Poe died he was refusing alcohol and water. Refusing water is one of the symptoms of rabies. Although there were no marks or bites, one-fourth of rabies victims don't remember getting bitten. In addition to that, when infected with rabies, it just takes a few days to die. Poe had all the symptoms of rabies.
People still think Edgar Allen Poe died because of alcoholism. Legend has it that he fell drunk in a gutter and then died. Others say he died on the front steps of his house. People will think and say what they want. Although we can't deny the facts. Edgar Allen Poe was admitted to the hospital sober.
In conclusion, I believe Poe died because of rabies. He had all the symptoms: hallucination, hydrophobia and mood swings. If his death was because of alcohol he wouldn't of lived for four days. Alcohol poisoning kills within hours. Although he liked drinking when he was younger, when he got in his forty's a little glass of wine would turn his stomach. I agree with Benitezs, people falsely accused Poe with an alcohol problem.

Jocelyn machado ENG2(8)-final exam
The article I agree with is Poe's Final Days. The evidence seems more logical. They have more details onto finding out what really happened. There are staements that Poe's life wasn't the greatest which could be a reason to heavily drink. It was also said that he had a fever before leaving to Baltimore.
The weather in Baltimore seemed to be cold at the time he arrived there. With a fever intact, it could of worsen with the cold. If he got drunk he could've become careless of the temperature and went out unproperly dressed. Drunk and delirious he could of lost his luggage. He probably roamed the streets unconcious where he was heading and slept outside with a fever.
With a fever climbing its peak. He tried to find a place with some warmth. Sick and with a hangover he looked for a place he knew. He might of remembered about the polls and maybe he wanted to vote at the tavern. That could've been the reason why he was found there.
Overall he was found unconcious. He was weak and could barely speak. He was sick but with problems overlooking his heart he must of desired a drink. A drink that could make him forget. With him drunk he forgot about his health.
I think Poe died of a fever, depression and a night of drinking. It seemed he had problems that troubled him. He seemed to have too much inflicted upon him. He desired to forget by drinking that killed him. Yet there is no shame if he died a drunk. He was a great writer and even the greats have flaws.

Mari. Casillas--Eng 2(8) - Final Exam
Edgar Allan Poe died in the year of 1849. There are stories about how he died. The first theory was about him dieing from alcohol poisoning, but yet they said he couldn't keep a glass of wine down.
They also said that there was a possibility that he died form rabies, but they couldn't find a scratch or any bite marks whatsoever on him. And the cat that he owned was rabies free, so he couldn't have gotten it from her. Apparently the way he was acting in the hospital was how someone acted when they had rabies, but was also known as mania a potu (meaning madness form drinking).
So how did he die? I believe he died from alcohol poisoning. The reason why is because they don't have any evidence of him getting bitten. He had no scratches or bite marks on him anywhere. He didn't remember getting bitten by anything.
They found letters from Edgar to his wife promising her that he would change. In other words he would stop drinking. And he would write those same letters to his mother. If I do remember right before his uncle-in-law, Henry Herring, took him to the hospital Edgar was found outside of the Baltimore Saloon.
Storm Kelly ENG 2(8)- FINAL EXAM
I believe that Edgar Allen Poe infact died from rabies. My source I used to come to this conclusion was an artical from the New York Times. The article was called, "Poe's Death Is Rewritten as case of Rabies, Not Telltale Alcohol." My source includes information from researcher, Dr.R. Michael Benitez, and Dr. Henry Wilde.
Dr. Benitez adds, the day after Poe enterd Washington College Hospital he showed signs of sickness. Dr. Benitez says Poe was perspiring heavily, hallucinating, and shouting at imaginary companions. On Poe's fourth day at the hospital, he grew confused then quieted down and died. To the doctor's knowledge, this is a classic case of rabies.
When Poe became calm and he was awake, he refused to drink alcohol, but had difficulty swallowing water. Studies show Rabies victims frequently show hydrophobia, fear of water. When symptoms appear for the disease it is often rapid and brutal and will kill the victims in a few days. Dr. Henry Wilde, who treats rabies at Chulalonglcorn University Hospital says, "Poe had all the features of encephalitic rabies."
Alot of myths on how Poe died will always be among us. Plenty of theories were constructed, for how he died that night. We will never know how this great man died, because of lack of research and facts they had back then. He may have died from rabies, or from drinking himself to death as true writers like to end their lives. I srtongly believe though he contracted rabies from the dirty streets they had, and not having a vaccine for the disease. One thing I do know for sure, is, we'll never know the cause of his death, because he left no trail or no clues. Perhaps this is just one last story he wrote that he wanted the whole world to make up their own ending to. That is indeed a true Poe story.

Don Louis Cruz ENG 2(8) - Final Exam
In the case of Edgar Poe's death, there were two theories of how he died. One was alcoholism and the other was rabies. I found that alcoholism had way more evidence and logic to it than rabies did. I'm going to be talking about how he died and reasons why it's true.
In Kenneth Silvermans biography about Edgar Poe, He says that E.P. had a drinking problem at an early age. When E.P was first discovered, he was found outside of a bar half conscious not knowing where he was. Kenneth writes that the weather was cold and rainy and that E.P. had a fever at the time. When Joseph Walker brought him to the hospital, they said he was acting delirious and talking constantly to anonymous objects. Four days later he dies.
Dr.R.Michael claims that E.P. has died from rabies. His theory must have came from the symptoms E.P had at the hospital, how he was pale, sweating, and talking constantly. That could have been from the fever he had at the bar. And Michael say that the cat could have bitten him and E.P. did not remember. Studies show that the cat was rabies free. Then the hallucinations, it says that that symptom was from Ceberal Inflammation.
In conclusion, it is quite obvious that Edgar Poe died from an alcohol infection. There is no accurate evidence that Edgar died of a rabies infection. All facts go towards alcohol infection.

Julie Tonelli ENG 2(8) - final exam
I honestly think that Poe's final days is the most realistic story of my options. Why you ask? It's because it had information on what Poe was doing in his final days.
It talked abut how closely related Poe's symtoms and rabies symtoms were. Everyone thought that Poe died of alcohol poisoning but if it was he wouldn't have been delirious .
He would have been able to drink alot of water if it was alcohol poisoning. It also wouldn't hurt to swallow if it was. His symtoms were much closer to rabies then alcohol poisoning. Plus the story was very detailed in what Poe did and how he felt then in the other stories.
In conclusion Poe's final days gave me the most information on Poe's death then the others. There one one thing I learned from all of the other stories though and that was Edgar Allen Poe did not die of old age

Michelle Wilkes Eng 2 Final Exam
In my personal opinion I believe that Poe died of rabies not alcohol. He died while he was in the hospital. He went back and forth, between delusional and very quiet.
While someone is in the hospital they can't drink. So he had to of went in there with something other than alcohol poisoning. The hospital and doctors should be blamed for not suspecting anything else.
Poe was very delusional. He had only been there for a few days. When he stated to the doctor he had a wife, when he didn't. Not only that but he was talking to things on the wall. He was just acting very strange.
So basically I feel that he was going crazy which is a sign that he had rabies. And that Poe was not an alcoholic.
