Death-Ilness

Poe was going to New York but went on the wrong train and went to Baltimore instead. On October third he was found at Gunner's Hall and was taken to the hospital. He lapsed in and out of consciousness and could never explain exactly what happened. He died on October 7, 1849. The way Poe died is unknown. There are urban legends surrounding it. The legends are if he died from alcholism, mugged, or did he have rabies?
