@Eric Meyers : 马洛的死因存在争议,官方说法是死于酒馆斗殴,但许多不一致之处指向更黑暗的事件,例如政治阴谋或暗杀。一些人认为马洛伪造了自己的死亡。 @Philippe Lacamp : 马洛在坎特伯雷出生,坎特伯雷保留着与马洛相关的历史遗迹,这有助于我们了解他的背景。 @Prof. Michael Green : 从马洛的性格来看,他容易卷入争吵和斗殴,因此酒馆斗殴的说法是可信的。酒精也可能加剧了冲突。 @Andrew Rose : 现有证据表明马洛可能死于斗殴,凶手的自卫说法在当时是可信的,但缺乏公正的证人是查明真相的最大障碍。验尸官可能没有完全履行职责。 @Ciaran O’Keefe : 酒精和社交环境可能导致暴力行为升级,简单的争吵也可能升级为致命冲突。 @Ros Barber : 马洛可能伪造了自己的死亡,逃往欧洲大陆,并利用被处决者的尸体伪造死亡,但缺乏确凿证据。 @Tracy Borman : 马洛的死因可能涉及更黑暗的政治阴谋,例如沃尔特·罗利为了掩盖自己的异端信仰而谋杀了马洛。马洛的死可能涉及证人的贿赂和操纵。
