The death of Edgar Allan Poe

[missingyou90s]

maybe he was poisioned

[kepler1000]

He got cooped! It is so like Baltimore for it is still a political dump.

[bbergful]

it's a little fuzzy and hard to understand

[Darkside780]

Was he joking at the end? Rabies, bat, cemetery?

[iHappah]

@Darkside780 I Actually Read The Rabies Part In Class.... I Started Laughing... Cass i Thought Why Would He Have Rabies? But I Felt Bad And Stoped

[Darkdreamfilms]

What better way to go after a dark life than in a mysterious way like him

[VampireKing1492]

Only Edgar knows the truth.

[Nirvanarain]

Screw you, Death. You took my Edgar. 

[SUPERJAILrockz11]

I'm sad now....

[angeldaisuki]

Such a tragedy for a life.. sucks but look what it created... EDGAR ALLAN POE!

[invalid000able]

If there ever was a genius author with profound universal meaning, I propose a vote for an Edgar Allan Poe statue in the National Statuary Hall, with a poem and signature from one of his novels on the bottom slabstone monument.

[vinylrecordcollector]

@dajokaman759 He's definitely better than Shakespeare, because Shakespeare sucks.

[Th3ForgottenOne]

@vinylrecordcollector I don´t think so, cause Shakespeare war great too!. They were only just different points of view things!

[brookechch]

I'd just like to thank you for uploading this video. It's been very helpful in a school research assignment i'm completing at the moment about the death of Edgar Allan Poe. I was just wondering if anyone knew who made the documentary?

[MrDanielzeak]

hes the second best...shakespear is the original o.g

[polaroidsky]

Or he could have just been on a trip.

[dajokaman759]

he seems better than Shakespere.

[kittykiller897]

This desposition deposited in my brain all the nescessary posits to understand Poe's ultimate position.

[AiLess]

I wish I could have met him.

He's my idol as a writer. Sad and depressing it may be but it really speaks to me and sets me off to a different place where I dont have to think about anything but what he was thinking and what he said.

I really wish i could have met him

[fighisver]

@0n3Bl00dyM3ss go murder someone..that's always fun!

[daviesman90]

I think he was killed by Freemasons due to his anti-Masonic works.

[cha5]

@daviesman90 Which anti-Masonic works? As I recall whenever Poe used Masonry in his stories (The Cask of Amontillado for instance) it was mainly as a plot device or just in mention.

[MRTACOLOVER13]

Thanks for the tip, maybe you can honor him by not being a dick to people ^^

[femmebot3000]

@0n3Bl00dyM3ss you can honour him by learning to spell, I think he'd appreciate that.

RIP Peter Graves

[rafiskywalker]

thank you very much fr posting this, though I have something to say about Poe's death:

during election day, some thuggers invited him for some baltimore lemonade for every campaign so he could elect somebody who was running for office. After that was done, he was so drunk that he fainted just like that because of his alcohol allergy.

[Gothichick3]

Poor Poe ... i really love his stories and i was inspired by him by writing a novel myself. He had such a hard life and at least he was a gentlemen.

R.I.P Edgar

[sekulr]

thank you.

[poeforward]

Very nice. Thanks for posting this.

[Tman2295]

geniuses generally have this fate. Its rather a bittersweet life..... :(

[MyRandomVlog]

@Tman2295 all of them die tragically but most of them commit suicide under the weight of there insane genius. poe was an incredible artist and writer, but there is nothing gothic about him. he was just a beautiful man with a soul full of tragedy

[dameancat]

@MyRandomVlog Nothing gothic about him? He was the first true goth. His work, his life and even the way he lived. He was just awesome

[MyRandomVlog]

@dameancat dude, he was mostly emo.

[dameancat]

@MyRandomVlog Can't be emo for couple of reasons. Emo (for some reason) has this suicidal thoughts and mostly write down poems about depressive topics, not horror. Poe suffered a lot and all his feelings he pasted them in horror poems, stories (like many goths do also). He didn't go saying "oh, hate my life. I'm nothing" or things like that. People often confuse emo with goth (which I truly hate) because they don't know the meaning of either one. Emo comes from emotional.

[kll115]

It's sad the all the greats had lives like that =(

[drunkskunk005]

Not me.

[Alpesinger]

Please upload this whole Documentary.

[goldboy219]

it was the fact that he wasn't readily accepted by his peers that led Poe to begin his serious writting career. Much like Maynard Keenan the lead singer of tool and a perfect cirlce

[goldboy219]

He wasn't accepted in his own society ... He was shunned by his gaurdians, many of his peers, and he was so maltreated at West Point by upperclassmen and even his fellow classmates who thought he was strange that he would routinely drink heavily at a local tavern ... He spent his time writting instead of studying ... it was in after one of these drunken nights that Poe went to a morning formation without clothes on which along with his poor grades ensured he was dismissed from the Academy

[KatieM101388]

Today he would've been called emo or some shit...he would've been accepted in todays world.

[TheSilentAstronaut]

@KatieM101388 fuck you. emo is a word described to teens who find inspiration not in literature or proper music, but to teenagers who listen to break up songs by fall out boys and justin beaver. gothic would be more appropriate.

[pokemonrpk]

i think died of a comon disies bock then brain fever makes holusenate and soil urself and other things......

[CaptinJasmineHook]

Does anyone know what the piano song playing at 1:45 is called or how I can find out?

[jdewbre]

Not sure what song you're referring to since the video cuts out there, but it's likely just some background music that A&E had composed specifically for this biography.

[slut209]

poor poe i feel so sorry for him....

[boston1849]

Poe's last words " Lord help my poor soul " and with that the greatest mind of macabe had come to an end. It started in Boston Mass on Carver st. and ended in Baltimore Md.

[NoCompromise83]

So Edgar may had been murdered.

[faridjabba]

I nto sure, posibly he was on a trip´and had sufered enough then, He left great leagacy anyhow, is this part of an "unsolved misteries" chapter? wheres the rest pls ?
