Was Napolean assassinated?

Answer 1

considering that he was politically, a huge headache to the European community, it is a very strong possibility.
but as it is with the death of popular and successful leaders, a normal death seems unlikely somehow, it has to be a conspiracy

Answer 2

Tests carried out on samples of his hair indicate that he had very high counts of arsenic in his body at the time of his death. Whether as direct poisoning or a side-effect of medical treatments he under went, and he was not a healthy man- we don't know. Technically poisoning isn't considered assassination.

Answer 3

Doubtful. The evidence tends to show that he died from Arsenic poisoning which was due to breathing in Arsenic which was contained in the room in which he lived in his last period of incarceration. Arsenic was used in paints at the time and so nothing sinister was necessarily involved. However I would not put it past the English to have murdered him - they were quite capable of doing so and Wellington was not known to be the most pleasant of people.

Answer 4

Think its still being debated. Apparently though analysis of hair sample he had high levels of Arsenic. I read that somewhere along time ago, but its the best I can remember.

Answer 5

It's a strong possibility. When he died, he had just had a large meal with others, and was showing symptoms of poisoning, such as severe sweating.

Answer 6

There's a theory going around that he may have been. I just think he croaked naturally.

Answer 7

If not he should have been......the little bast*rd.

Answer 8

Who care's..........
