Meriwether Lewis (of the Lewis and Clark expedition) was 35 when he died in 1809.

Meriwether Lewis was serving as governor of Missouri Territory in 1809 and on the way to Washington DC to defend himself against some political accusations. He was at a roadside inn in Grinder's Stand (Hohenwald) Tennessee, just south of Nashville and was found with two gunshot wounds suffered the night of October 10. He died the next morning on October 11, 1809. The shooting was called a suicide, but he is now believed to have been murdered.
