Sure, by 1821, Napoleon was hors combat, but suppose he'd escaped in, say, 1818, with 3 years to live. His son lived, an Austrian Prince.
It is conceivable that the French, disatisfied by the return of the Bourbons, may have flocked to the ill Bonaparte again. And by 1818, Europe's armies that had fought at Waterloo or were moving towards the French frontiers had been decommissioned. Sure, they could have been raised again, but it would have taken time.
And an astute Bonaparte, conscious of the dual role of his son as a French prince AND a Habsburg prince, may have very well been able to solidify a deal to the liking of the Habsburg's whereby Napoleon II would assume the throne of a France joined by close royal marriage and lineage to Austria.
The same may have been true even as late as 1820. Indeed, the farther the war receded, the more likely that an ill Napoleon could have struck a deal with the Hapsburgs, especially if he didn't do anything crazy like launch the armies at the frontiers again.

I always heard he died of a broken heart. Damn those evil medical scientists.

Is it bad lighting, or my eyesight, or some but does this guy have on a pink tie and a (pale)pink shirt?

The risk might have been further increased by his diet full of salt-preserved foods but sparse in fruits and vegetables I gather my "Dog Gone Potato Chip Diet" book just took a hit.

There are as many causes of Napoleon's death as I have fingers on both hands. Just wait a year and somebody will come up and blame his death on something else.

B.S. He's alive and living in Argentina under an assumed German name.

I heard on "The Apprentice" Sunday night, that pink is the new black. (Goes with everything). Of course the guy that said it was a guy man who thought that a pink, paisley, tight, tiny, spandex bikini swimming suit was a "sure sell" for a man to wear.

That's the fashion-sense of a real scientist.
E.g., the truly brilliant biochemist professor I knew...his
biggest struggle before a meeting with graduate-school administators
was figuring out which pair of sandals he should wear.
