How did William Henry Harrison die?
Pneumonia. He gave his inaugural address in snow and freezing rain without proper clothing. He caught a severe cold that quickly developed into fatal pneumonia, and because he failed to recover from the chills and fever that developed immediately after the speech, he died. He died in 1841. He was only in office for one month at the time of his death on April 4, 1841. William Henry Harrison - February 9, 1773 - April 4, 1841, was the 9th President of the United States, an American Military Officer and Politician, and the first president to die in office. On March 26, Harrison became ill with a cold. According to the prevailing medical misconception of that time, microorganisms being then unknown, it was believed that his illness was directly caused by the bad weather. However, it was more than three weeks after the inauguration before Harrison showed the first signs of ill health and modern studies have shown that exposure to adverse weather does not cause respiratory illnesses. It is likely he was a victim of the common cold virus, exacerbated by the drastic pressures of his changed circumstances. The cold worsened, rapidly turning to pneumonia and pleurisy. He sought to rest in the White House, but could not find a quiet room because of the steady crowd of office seekers; in addition, his extremely busy social schedule made any rest time scarce. Harrison's doctors tried cures, applying opium, caster oil, and Virginia snake weed. However, the treatments only made Harrison worse, and he became delirious. He died nine days after becoming ill, at 12:30 a.m. on April 4, 1841, of right lower lobe pneumonia, jaundice, and overwhelming septicemia; he became the first American president to die in office. Harrison served as the shortest term of any american president, March 4 - April 4, 1841, 31 days, 12 hours, and 30 minutes. He died of pneumonia. On March 26 he became ill with a cold. The cold got much worse and he got pneumonia and pleurisy - "Give him a barrel of hard cider and settle a pension of two thousand a year on him, and my word for it," a Democratic newspaper foolishly gibed, "he will sit ... by the side of a 'sea coal' fire, and study moral philosophy. " The Whigs, seizing on this political misstep, in 1840 presented their candidate William Henry Harrison as a simple frontier Indian fighter, living in a log cabin and drinking cider, in sharp contrast to an aristocratic champagne-sipping Van Buren. He died of pneumonia.
