Mysterious+Death

Later in his life after he go married to Virginia his cousin, he made more stories than ever, he loved Virginia so much. After Virginia got tuberculosis, his heart was wrenched. He was so scared because, his biological mom, his brother, and his adoptive mom were badly affected by this horrible disease. Throughout Edgar's life he was surrounded with death after death, he was adopted at age 2 after his mom died and his parents were separated. Then was adopted by two very wealthy and nice people, but not to long after his adoptive mother Mrs. Allan was killed by tuberculosis. Then after her death Mr. Allan was not a very nice guy to him. I believe that most of the short stories he wrote were supposed to be aimed for all the deaths he was experiencing throughout his life. For example, In, "The Tell-Tale Heart, he killed an old man and had a very odd life with very unusual acute senses. Then In "The Cask of Amontillado", he had someone get a guy get very drunk and then kill him. And I believe that is a very big foreshadow for how his life was like, lots of drinking and thats why he had to originally had to drop out of college that he hardly worked for to get in because he went in to debt because he couldn't handle his drinking habits, so I do believe a large amount of the stories/articles he wrote were more like biography of how Edgar's life was. So back to his wives tragic death of a deadly sickness, Virginia and Edgar were always deeply in love, after Virginia passed, Edgar was apparently in a complete love depression, the love his life died. He stopped writing for months, and also his critics predicted that his death was coming soon because of Virginia's. People still don't know the exact way the Edgar Allan Poe died but many people have ideas. The most common factor that is heard is that he was just coming back to Baltimore from Richmond, and he was heavily heavily heavily drunk, and they called a carriage to quickly take him to the hospital and the main theory is he died of alcohol poisoning and he died between 3:00 a.m and 5:00 a.m on October 7th 1849. His recorded last words were "Lord help my poor soul". Lastly Mr. Edgar Allan Poe had a very well known nickname it was the "Poe Toaster", he was remembered as this because there was a reference to the toast of cognac that Poe is getting offered.
