Abstract

The article from France Today explores the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of renowned French writer Émile Zola, who died from carbon monoxide poisoning at the age of 62. While his death was officially ruled accidental, some believe it may have been a deliberate act due to his involvement in controversial cases like the Dreyfus affair. Despite rumors and a deathbed confession from a chimney sweep claiming responsibility, no concrete evidence has ever been produced to prove that Zola was murdered, leaving his death shrouded in speculation.
