On the initial examination of his body after death, it was generally agreed amongst the seven doctors and several others that Napoleon had probably died of tumors and ulcers on the stomach.
However, not everyone agreed on all aspects of the examination and recently tests on some strands of Napoleon's hair have shown the presence of segments of arsenic. The evidence seems to suggest that Napoleon periodically received the poison.
The arsenic would have weakened Napoleon, with the effect of Napoleon simply appearing to be getting worn down by the climate. At the right moment the poisoner could have administered other substances that would have become toxic and then killed Napoleon.
This method of poisoning was common for the time and the autopsy results showed conditions that could lead to this conclusion.
Even so, we will never be completely sure if Napoleon waspoisoned, although it does seem as though the evidence is stacked that way.
