the royal corpse

Exiled to a lonely island with no escape, and he was kept there and poisoned slowly with Arsenic within his wine. He died there in agony, and his body was exhumed forty years thereafter his burial on St. Helena Island. He was reinterred at Paris France and perfectly preserved because of all the arsenic within his tissues. Herein lies NAPOLEON BONEPART, Emperor of France, and still intact unto this very day. That is a fact.
