No one ever tuely figured out if his father died before or after leaving the familyand when/ where he died. his mother died on December 8, 1811 most likely of TB or pnmonia, with Edgar (not Allen yet...) and his brother and sister watching... ~Maddie

Everyone around him had died from TB. I'm sure he had quite a strong hate for the illness. I bet that he was terrified of the disease and that it had a great effect on his writing.
