>>1231705I thought he had actually proposed that it was a mold that grew on the berries that kept him sick...he was keeping them wrapped in plastic or something. Anyway, whether poison or mold, it was just a theory. And it made sense as a contributing factor, even if he did technically starve to death.
If you are sick, you can't go get food. So it would be easy to starve. Vicious cycle.
I also don't think that was included "to make a better story". It was just a possible explanation. What, you think being poisoned is somehow mor romantic than starving?
