Dr. Benitez's theory that rabies caused Poe's death could be supported by information such as Poe's symptoms before his death, including hallucinations, confusion, and aggression, which are common in the later stages of rabies. Additionally, knowledge of any potential exposure to rabid animals or areas where rabies was prevalent in Poe's final days could support this theory. Finally, evidence of Poe being bitten by an animal, particularly a bat or dog, could also lend credibility to the hypothesis that rabies was the cause of his death.
In theory, a dog could get rabies at birth. If the mother had rabies or if it was bitten right after birth.
If not treated properly, rabies may cause death.
One theory suggests that Poe died from complications related to alcoholism. Another theory proposes that he may have suffered from rabies. Some speculate that Poe's death was caused by cooping, a practice involving voter fraud that Poe may have been victim to.
In all but a VERY limited number of cases, rabies has led to death.
There is no indication that Poe had rabies. Rabies has been speculated as a cause of death but that is so unlikely that it should be ruled out emphatically,
It is not definitively proven that Edgar Allan Poe died from rabies. Some theories suggest that his symptoms were consistent with rabies, while others attribute his death to different causes such as alcohol withdrawal or carbon monoxide poisoning. The exact cause of his death remains uncertain.
An hypothesis is a theory based on observation and the knowledge of the topic.
I assess the alignment of my theory with existing research, discuss it with colleagues in the field, and review feedback from target audience members to ensure relevance to the topic. Conducting pilot studies or surveys can also help validate the applicability of the theory to the subject matter.

Some people believe that Edgar Allen Poe died of rabies, although there are many different accounts of causes for death.
Yes. Especially if the dog has rabies. If the dog has not been injected with anti-rabies, a dog's bite can even cause death.
