RE: WHO KILLED NAPOLEON?

in #history7 years ago

Irrespective of autopsy report, I think Bonaparte was murdered. He was a thorn in the flesh of the British, and some of the French officials who viewed his existence as a threat to theirs. The presence of arsenic in his hair gives his death a twist. The poison, which is actually Arsenic(III) oxide, is a tasteless white compound that dissolves in water. It is not that harmful when used in a small dose. For the arsenic to have been in Bonaparte's hair, it would've had to be administered in substantial doses over a long period of time. This evidence suggests that his death was deliberate. A thought-provoking article. Well done.

I could agree. Bonaparte had already escaped from exile once, and returned with full force. He became even mightier until his defeat at Waterloo. So you can imagine how dreadful the British and the French royals would be, of a re-escape.
Nice input.
