It’s a story as compelling as any murder mystery.

The real cause of death, however, has been in dispute ever since.

Ben Weider…is a proponent of the theory that Napoleon was poisoned with arsenic, a deadly chemical.

Weider has relentlessly sought the cause of Napoleon’s death for more than four decades…

Additionally, the doctors who examine Napoleon’s body after his death didn’t find any of the usual symptoms associated with arsenic poisoning…

…they gave him a massive amount of mercurous chloride…

That and other medications disrupted Napoleon’s heartbeat and resulted in his heart ceasing to beat.

Could he, motivated by revenge, have poisoned the wine?

In Fornes’s opinion, evidence for murder by poisoning is inconclusive and wouldn’t hold up in a court of law.

Napoleon Bonaparte’s body was returned to France in 1840, and it has rested in a truly grand tomb in Paris for nearly 150 years.
