Another reason why I don’t think he had Ebola is because the disease has only been in Africa. It could be spreading though.
Some people believe he was on drugs and that’s why he died. Others believe he had died from the amount of alcohol he had drank before his death. They say before he died, his clothes were inside out. Well he wasn’t even wearing his own clothes. That’s some of the reasons I think he had a brain tumor. I also don’t think he had

    The allegorical symbolism of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death” represents the futility of ignoring human suffering and delaying death through wealth.
