Best Answer

No. His wife died from tuberculosis. His mother died of an unspecified illness, which a family member many years later recounted was pneumonia, not tuberculosis. Poe's mother has no history of suffering from TB, therefore it is highly unlikely that his mother died from TB. The cause of death of his father, who died a few days after Mrs. Poe, is unknown.
