Zachary Taylor was stressed out of his job as president and on July 4, 1850, Taylor participated in Fourth of July ceremonies and refreshed himself with a pitcher of milk and bowls of cherries and pickles. Dysentery bacteria was spreading in Washington, so there is a chance that the bacteria tainted Taylor's food. Later, Taylor ended up with intestinal cramps, vomiting spells and diarrhoea. At about 10PM, Taylor has frequent spells of bloody diarrhoea and this cycle happened while doctors did whatever they could do for President Taylor, but five days later, late on July 9th, President Taylor died on July 9th, 1850.
There are lingering rumors that Taylor was poisoned by his staff. In 1991, his descendants were told by an historian to exhume Taylor's remains. Taylor's remains were examined and analysed and found low traces of arsenic that were not in enough quantities to kill Taylor. They determined that cholera mombus killed Taylor. So, Taylor was not poisoned by his enemies.
