He was chronically ill for some years, although we don't have enough information to say what his illness was. I wrote a couple of posts about it on the Poe blog, without ever coming to any kind of decision.<br /><br />The cooping tale seems an oddly appropriate "Poe-like" end, but I've always been skeptical. It's interesting, though, how many of his contemporaries in Baltimore seemed to find it credible.Undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214242522330278662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-32111503794632380952015-03-09T20:27:31.859-07:002015-03-09T20:27:31.859-07:00Hey there!

I'm so glad you liked it! :) Your site here looks wonderful, by the way---so much to look through. I see you have a Poe blog, too. What's your take on his death? I read this Smithsonian article recently (http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/still-mysterious-death-edgar-allan-poe-180952936/?no-ist) and found the possibility of him getting "cooped" to death fascinating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-45683378162383576942015-03-06T10:38:17.549-08:002015-03-06T10:38:17.549-08:00I follow a lot of blogs.
