The official illness that George Washington died from is debated between several illnesses related to the throat. It was reported that he had a bacterial infection of the epiglottis, that he may have had quinsy or Ludwig's angina, and some say that his doctor's treatments of extensive bloodletting, burning his throat, and giving him calomel may have killed him.
