Edgar Allan Poe was in a dark alley way when he died. He was not murdered. It wasn't necessarily natural causes. He was drunk and was walking home from a pub. He passed out and landed face first in a puddle of water. Because he couldn't breath in air he breathed in Water. Which lead to him suffercating. And the coraners office the cause of death was labeled as Pneumonia.

Well, his death cannot be confirmed. It is still a mystery to how he died. There are many different interpretations and theories on how he died. The most recent that I have heard, though, is that he may have died from rabies.

Poe was badly beaten when he died. He was also drunk. My theory is that he had too many debts and the debtors found him.
