Mysterious in Life and Death

The writer Edgar Allan Poe's most famous works were macabre and mysterious. Perhaps it is fitting that Poe's death on October 7, 1849, is as mysterious as the stories he wrote throughout his life.

It was October 3, 1849, election day, when an employee of he Baltimore Sun newspaper named Joseph W. Walker discovered a man lying in the gutter outside of his polling station. It was Edgar Allan Poe, but the writer was so delirious that he was unable to move or communicate. Many questions still lingered when Poe died just four days later. The night before his death, still in an incoherent state, Poe repeatedly shouted out the name "Reynolds." Who was Reynolds? Why was Poe discovered wearing another man's clothes? And most importantly, what had befallen Poe to leave him in such a state? There are countless theories about his cause of death, including suicide, murder, cholera, tuberculosis, alcoholism, carbon monoxide poisoning, a brain tumor, the flu, and even rabies. Others claim that since Poe was discovered on election day, he was the victim of cooping. This is when a person is drugged against their will and forced to vote for a candidate. To this day, no one really knows how Poe died.

There is yet another twist in the mystery of Poe's death. Every year from 1949 to 2009, on the anniversary of Poe's birth, an unknown person visited Poe's grave, wearing black clothes and a large fedora, and left a bottle of cognac. The disappearance of the "Poe Toaster," as the stranger was known, has left yet another mystery to be solved, a fitting tribute for such a renowned master of the mysterious.
