The research is now showing that he died of gastric cancer, not arsenic poisoning, like some had thought earlier. His father had it, and the salty food on he would have eaten on campaign would also have made it more likely. He probably had problems for quite some time--I always heard that the reason he posed for his picture with his hand in his jacket was that his stomach pained him. That wasn't the only illness he had which affected his life, though. He also had severe hemorrhoids, which sometimes made it impossible to seat a horse. It's theorized that the fact that he was not on his horse, giving his troops heart, that caused him to lose the battle of Waterloo.
