He moved to Baltimore and he married his cousin Virginia Clemm. He became and editor and poet. In 1847 Virginia died of tuberculosis and Poe himself became ill. His disastrous dependence on alcohol and his alleged use of drugs may have contributed to his early death. Poe died in Baltimore on October 7, 1849.
