In February 1847, Poe's young wife Virginia died of consumption. This would have taken hold of her quite some time before, as it is a slow, lingering death. This was no murder.
Poe was devastated by her death and penned these words, "Deep in earth my love is lying and I must weep alone." It was not published during his lifetime and is a very private expression of grief.During the years following Virginia's death, Poe's life was taking a steady turn downward. He suffered through a suicide attempt, several failed romances and engagements, and a largely unsuccessful attempt to resurrect his failing career after a long bout with alcoholism and depression. He died eventually of analcohol related illness.

Edgar Allan Poe did indeed marry his cousin in 1836 when she was only 13, but she died of tubercolosis shortly after the publication of his most famous poem "The Raven" in 1842. So no, it wasn't him that killed her.
