This was the second and last place that Napoleon got exiled. For the second time the European powers were not going to take any chances on Napoleon possibly coming back. That is why they sent him to this island because it was a "barren, wind-swept rock located in the South Atlantic Ocean." This place was half of his former home in exile in Elba Island. The home that he was suppose to stay in called Longwood wasn't finished by the time that he came. Because of that of that, he had to live with a British family called the Briars at their resident called Balcombes. Napoleon Bonaparte died there. An autopsy called that his cause of death was stomach cancer.
