Sigh. Don't troll the forums for people perhaps believing this silliness. The famous chess player Paul Morphy did not die in a snowstorm, nor was he murdered.
Morphy was found dead in his bathtub in New Orleans (hot climate most of the year and really shouldn't be getting any snow at all) and the autopsy report showed that Morphy likely suffered a stroke from the cold water he was bathing in contrasted to the typical New Orleans heat.

Yeah, look it up online - even Wikipedia is normally a good resource when backed up with other citations. New Orleans doesn't even get snow (unless some freak thing caused by climates changing or newer extremes of global warming etc.)
If this post was an honest mistake, then I suspect whoever told you this false story about a snowstorm simply tricked you...
it was @ctfives501st. he told me that lie...

You mean, in this exact forum thread? (It is the original post) Of course, you probably shouldn't have believed everything you hear online without fact-checking it yourself, but my post was actually directed at the thread original post more than it was to you @spidamitchell2pele6
I simply posted here just so others don't believe something which never happened.
okay... thanks for telling me what really happened!

I said my name is MARattigan, I didn't say my real name is MARattigan. It's not Paul Morphy though, so it wouldn't seem to be totally relevant to the topic.
