Poe by Amanda, Emma, and Savannah

Edgar Allen Poe death theory's 

- beating (years after Poe's death we were lead to believe that the was beaten to death and he later died due to head trauma) parents.

-  "totally deranged" (quote from the Edgar Allen Poe museum website) "  Poe experienced hallucinations and was “totally deranged” for ten days shortly before his arrival in Richmond." I think this implies  that he was experimenting with drugs and he may have over dosed. 

- Poe had developed cholera (was drained of all fluids)  

- Poe was in great distress (possible suicide)
