He was also King of Italy, Mediator of the Swiss Confederation and The cause of Napoleon's death has been disputed on numerous occasions, and the controversy remains to this day. Francesco Antommarchi, Napoleon's personal physician, gave stomach cancer as a reason for Napoleon's death in his death certificate.
In 1955, the diaries of Louis Marchand, Napoléon's valet, appeared in print. His description of Napoléon in the months leading up to his death, led many, most notably Sten Forshufvud and Ben Weider, to conclude that he had been killed by arsenic poisoning
