There’s nothing mysterious about an absinthe obsessed alcoholic being found dead in the gutter one night.

I want justice as much as the next man but I think the ones responsible are long dead.

We still don’t know how Vince Foster or Ron Brown died and under what circumstances? A bit of a reach cold casing Poe.

Yup. When it said “nevermore” it meant “nevermore.”

Probably. His final madness also hints at rabies. Rabies was not terribly uncommon then and there was no way to treat it.

A few years ago, I posted an article about how Poe's The Black Cat may have been based on a real story. I assume you are referencing that, and/or The Cask of Amontillado.

At least he wasn’t bricked in.
