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.
