The cause of Napoleon's death has been the subject of controversy from that time to the present (7). Listen to some of the theories people have had about the cause of his death. The cause of Napoleon's death at the age of 51 on the island of St. Helena is still a mystery (6). There is no doubt that he was a very sick man at the time of his death. One theory about the cause of his death is that he had stomach cancer (8). Another theory is that he was deliberately poisoned by a servant (9). A third theory also suggests that he was poisoned, but not by a servant. This third theory suggests that he was poisoned accidentally by fumes from the wallpaper in the house he lived in. A few years ago, samples of the wallpaper were analyzed and traces of arsenic were found in it (10). Arsenic is a powerful poison that was used in some of the dies in wallpaper during the time that Napoleon lived. More than 170 years after his death, people are still speculating about the cause of his death.
