president

and the strange circumstances surrounding many of their deaths. Four murders. A top secret surgery on board. a fishing boat god bless america and pee woo george washington was murdered by his doctors that's

what

i believe anyway in 1799 then retired president washington developed a sore throat his condition worsened in the following days despite efforts from several doctors, of course, in 1799

medical

treatment was very poor as doctors often believed that the best way to treat ailments was by balancing the humors, meaning they would balance the amount of blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile inside the body.

This doesn't make sense over the course of several days. Doctors drained Washington of 32 ounces of his blood, blistered his throat, forced him to vomit, and pumped him with enemas. No wonder Washington died after several days of this medieval torture. I wonder if Washington would have lived longer if he had been well hydrated and maybe had a z. -pack john adams lived to be 90 the longest living president until ronald reagan when he died of heart failure probably related to arterial sclerosis a blockage of the arteries due to plaque buildup that usually occurs with old age or bad habits Of life, interestingly, Adams died on July 4, 1826. exactly 50 years to the day he signed a declaration of independence and just five hours after Thomas Jefferson, who died on the exact same day, the grisly cause of his death It is not conclusive, but it was probably due to a variety of ailments such as diarrhea, kidney damage, and an enlarged, possibly cancerous prostate.

America's shortest president, at just five feet four, James Madison lived to be 85, when died of congestive heart failure, where the heart's ability to pump blood deteriorates, causing fluid to build up throughout the body while specific details are revealed. not well recorded james monroe died in 1831 after a battle with tuberculosis, a bacterial infection that usually attacks the lungs, and while he may have been only the fifth president of the united states at the time of his death, he joined adams and jefferson to become the third president to die on the 4th of July The fact that presidents died on the 4th of July did not go unnoticed by the American people and the trend became something of a mid-19th century meme.

John Quincy Adams served one term as president and then became the first to die in office, although not. In the office of president, as seen, after losing the election of 1829, John Quincy Adams continued his public service by serving Congress for nine terms at the age of 78 during a controversial debate over the Mexican-American War. in the plenary session of the House of Representatives. adams collapsed suffered a significant stroke in which there is decreased circulation to the brain causing neurological damage. He died at his home two days later, but not before what must have been a spectacular emergency on Capitol Hill.

Andrew Jackson suffered a long, slow decline in his health before dying at age. of 78. However, the cause of his death has been widely disputed and some attribute it to the use of the drug calamel which caused heavy metal poisoning, but Jama states that he probably died of kidney failure with known full-body swelling at the time. as dropsy, while it is not. completely sure what

martin van buren many sources, including his obituary in the new york times, cite problems originating in his chest, his decline likely began with a lung infection that led to cardiopulmonary failure now things it gets interesting william henry harrison gave a two-hour inaugural address in freezing drizzle without a coat or gloves that many people believe is the cause of pneumonia, a lung infection that killed him just a month into office in 1841, germs had not been discovered

every

where, rather doctors believed that the most effective

medical

treatments were just as with Washington's balance, mood doctors blistered the president and made him drink substances that forced him to vomit and having diarrhea, of course, none of those methods really worked, so William Henry Harrison remains our president with the shortest term in office than John Tyler ever took.

He replaced William Henry Harrison and served the remainder of that term as president. Historians claim that he was never very healthy to begin with and died in 1862 of a stroke. He remains the only president in American history who was not buried with the stars and stripes as he was the favorite of the confederacy and was buried with its flag. James K. Polk had grand visions of his life after the presidency, leaving Washington on a tour of the southern United States, hoping to end up in Nashville, where he had bought a large house. Unfortunately, Polk died. Three months after leaving office, the shortest post-presidential period in American history, due to cholera, a diarrheal disease caused by drinking contaminated water, Zachary Taylor served one year in office before dying in what many would say which are suspicious circumstances, to this day many claim that he was poisoned by For pro-slavery southerners, the cause of his death was so controversial that in 1991 his descendants agreed to have his remains exhumed for tests that did not find a volume of arsenic high enough within his remains to suggest definitive poisoning.

A more common theory is that he contracted cholera or dysentery after celebrating the Fourth of July in Washington, DC, which at the time had primitive sewers that often contaminated food and water. Miller Fillmore is rumored to have been the first health-conscious White House president, avoiding alcohol and tobacco. He died from a stroke at the age of 74. Franklin Pierce died at the age of 69 from cirrhosis of the liver, likely due to a lifetime of excessive alcohol consumption, damage caused directly because ethanol is a toxin that causes massive inflammation and swelling in the intestine. James Buchanan He is considered by many to be the worst president in the history of the United States, as he did nothing to preserve the union before handing over a country divided by slavery to Abraham Lincoln.

You are useless. Information about his death is scarce and most reports claim. died at the age of 77 of pneumonia abraham lincoln gunn next just kidding, although abraham lincoln's death is probably the best known on this list, it is not without intrigue just five days after the union victory of the famous actor and confederate of the civil War. Sympathizer John Wilkes Booth sneaked into Lincoln's box at Ford's Theater in Washington DC and fired a .44-caliber single-shot Derringer pistol directly into the back of Lincoln's head from just inches away. Lincoln immediately fell into a coma and died across the street seven hours later.

We know that, but here are the juicy details that are often examined through very detailed notes about Lincoln's final hours and his subsequent autopsy were taken by the president's personal physician, Dr. Robert Stone, so we know that Dr. Stone did nothing to help the situation by using his finger to probe the wound and search for the bullet putting unnecessary pressure inside the president's brain at his most vulnerable moment. He

look

ed like he was going to die no matter what they did, but a dirty, ungloved finger inside the brain probably didn't help Andrew Johnson become the first president to reach the Senate after his presidency and he died of a stroke at the age 66 years old.

Ulysses Grant was an avid cigar smoker, which was probably the cause of the throat cancer that killed him at the age of 63. It was this death that largely sparked Americans' fear of the disease that we still see today. Rutherford B Hayes died at the age of 70 from complications following a heart attack. The second murder, just 18 months into his presidency, James Garfield was shot on a platform. in Baltimore, Maryland, by Charles Julius Guiteau, a lawyer and author who was deeply disillusioned in believing that he had been instrumental in Garfield's election and was therefore furious when he was not rewarded with his own political appointment .

Guiteau was executed after being found guilty of murdering Garfield, but not before arguing that he did not kill Garfield, but that Garfield's doctors were to blame, while Guiteau was undoubtedly responsible for pulling the trigger and firing a bullet. on Garfield's back. The thing is, you might be right, reports indicate that the bullet created a 3.5 inch wound in Garfield's abdomen. With the bullet finally resting in a benign spot between his groin and navel, it took three months for the infection to kill Garfield, but not before countless doctors used their fingers and tools to open the wound to 20 inches wide in a search endless of this bullet.

It wasn't just doctors either, as famous telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell used the world's first metal detector to provide a general location of this bullet. Countless doctors have debated the exact cause of Garfield's death and will never be able to say for sure, but they had. The doctors simply stitched Garfield up and allowed him to rest. It is possible that he did not die from this gunshot wound. After all, Chester, an author died two years after leaving office due to a significant brain hemorrhage believed to have been caused by his hypertension, or high blood pressure. Grover Cleveland died. of a heart attack at the age of 71, but that is far from the most interesting event in his medical history.

In the summer of 1893, at the beginning of a second term, he felt a lump on the roof of his mouth and his doctor diagnosed it as cancer and recommended that it be removed immediately. Cleveland feared that news that he had cancer would rock the stock market and unsettle the nation, so he opted for secret surgery aboard a yacht during a four-day fishing trip. This is a secret. Six surgeons put the president to sleep. With ether, the tumor was successfully removed, five of his teeth and much of his left upper jaw in just 90 minutes, rocking back and forth in the waves of the Atlantic Ocean because the surgery was inside the president's mouth and his trademark mustache remained intact.

Cleveland hid the surgery from the public despite rumors, smear campaigns and discrediting journalists, the operation remained unconfirmed for 24 years before one of the doctors broke his silence and finally told the truth. Benjamin Harrison was the grandson of President William Henry Harrison and, like his grandfather, died of pneumonia. at the age of 68 years. assassination number three six months into a second term in 1901 william mckinley was shot twice in the abdomen by leon frank yes that's the hardest thing it's c-z-o-l-g-o-s-z by leon frank sholgosh, making him the third president of the United States to be assassinated in 36 years old OMG, he lost his job during the economic panic of 1893 and became a believer in anarchism or a terrorist movement sweeping Europe that seeks to assassinate world leaders.

Sholgosh approached Mckinley in a crowded building at a festival in Buffalo, shook his hand and fired two shots from a .32 revolver, one bullet ricocheting off a button and not hurting Mckinley, but the other penetrated his abdomen. McKinley was rushed to a nearby hospital where a surgeon stitched the bullet's entry and exit wounds in the president's stomach, although the bullet was never found. Doctors were optimistic about a healthy recovery in the following days, but about A week later they discovered that their wounds had become gangrenous where parts of the body begin to die and cause deeper infection.

It was the death of William Mckinley that ignited a national discussion about protecting the president with Congress and eventually tasking the Secret Service with that same task in 1906.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt holds the record for most presidential terms, having won four elections in a row from 1932 until his death. in office in 1944, a team of doctors performed a thorough evaluation of fdr and found that he was suffering from numerous heart problems, high blood pressure, and bronchitis, probably all of these. Caused by a lifetime of smoking and consuming large amounts of tobacco, despite his deteriorating health, he ran for a fourth presidential term, saying privately that he would resign once World War II ended.
