Abstract
The cause of Napoleon's death has always been the subject of speculation. Because he died under suspicious circumstances many scholars have, doubted that the declared cause of death, cancer, was the actual cause. Colonel Hughes‐Wilson is convinced that Napoleon was murdered—poisoned by one of his carers at Longwood House on the island of St. Helena where Napoleon spent the last years of his life. There are several convincing factors which lead to this conclusion, suck as the results from analyses of samples of Napoleon's hair, carried out by the FBI, and reports on his health by people who examined his body at the time. In this article Colonel Hughes Wilson examines the evidence in this fascinating mystery of history and ventures to answer the question as to who committed the crime and his reasons for doing so.
