On May 5, 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte died in exile on the British-held island of Saint Helena. Though the cause was believed to have been stomach cancer, questions remain.

His personal physician reported on his death certificate that Napoleon died of stomach cancer, but scientists, historians, and enthusiasts have questioned the conclusion repeatedly over the last two centuries. Surely, said many, he was poisoned.

They found locks of his hair, which, they said, contained toxic levels of arsenic. They went through his valet's diaries. They noted that when his body was unearthed in 1840, it was remarkably well-preserved.
