The cause of Napoleon's death has been disputed on a number of occasions. Francesco Antommarchi, Napoleon's personal physician, gave stomach cancer as a reason for Napoleon's death in his death certificate. In the later half of the twentieth century, a different theory arose conjecturing that Napoleon was the victim of arsenic poisoning.
------------------------------
Napoleon died of an unidentified ailment, possibly stomach cancer; because traces of arsenic were later found in his remains, some have suggested he may have been fatally poisoned...
-----------------------------------
Scientists have dealt a major blow to conspiracy theorists and those who maintain that Napoleon Bonaparte was murdered.
For years the controversy has raged about his being killed - either by French Royalists or the British - and all have pointed to the high levels of arsenic in the emperor's body as being evidence of such dastardly behaviour.
However, while recent tests on strands of the emperor's hair have shown arsenic in his body, they prove that is not what killed him.

There are different assumptions present in different resources. As far as I know that Nepoleon was too much afraid of cats. So this would have been the reason of his death in some way or the other.

He died in exile on the island of St. Helena. There was talk of poisoning at the time, but a recent investigation concluded that based on the symptoms he'd been showing, he had intestinal cancer of some type. He had had stomach problems for years, and his father had died of a similar type of cancer.

The British poisoned him, but it was the French aristocracy which is in power today that sent him to his death. Viva La France!

he died of old age on the island of st . Helena where he was exiled --- he should have been put to the guillotine long before that --- read up on the french revolution and you'll see why .
