This seems to be in debate as to whether it was murder by arsenic poisoning or natural causes. I suppose it can be added to an ever growing list of things we may never know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon http://www.crimelibrary.com/terrorists_spies/assassins/napoleon_bonaparte/3.html?sect=24 Mar 21 04, 1:21 PM

I seem to remember reading in New Scientist that the arsenic wasn't administered to him, but had something to do with the wallpaper. Sounds odd enough to be true.... Mar 21 04, 2:25 PM

I saw a programme about that too. They found a lot of arsenic in the wallpaper and came to the conclusion that he had been slowly poisoned. Mar 21 04, 3:13 PM
