Another oft repeated story about Napoleon

Do you believe that Napoleon died by arsenic poisoning or of stomach cancer?

Here is difficult to refute and new evidence that his body contained relatively high levels of arsenic, compared to present standards, but no more than analysis of his hair at earlier times of his life showed.

I consider this another example of the difficulty we have to determine post factum what happened in the past.
