Or at least, that’s what sufferers of Cotard’s syndrome will have you believe.Cotard’s is a rare condition in which the affected (and very much alive) person is certain that they are already dead and decaying, with their blood frozen in their veins. The delusion is so great that some stop eating, and starve to death.

Fittingly for the inventor of the mystery novel, it’s shrouded in secrets…Found in a Baltimore pub, wearing someone else’s clothes, Poe was rushed to hospital – where he hallucinated and screamed incoherently for days, then died before he could say a word of explanation. We take a look at Poe’s greatest mystery of all.Exclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
