I think Tom Thomson’s death did some affect on his popularity because he had died in such an unfortunate way, his body floating around in Canoe Lake.The first reason why i think this is There were books and TV shows written/presented on how he had died but they didn't say how many people have purchased the book or watched the show. The second reason why is more people started to buy his artwork but that doesn't really matter because who would get the money. It could be his family but the articles have no indication of whom or where there parents are. Lastly , he was mentioned in a newspaper that talked about “ The Tragic death of Tom Thomson”, the number of view have gotten up because it was presented on a newspaper and it wasn't being paid
