He probably had TB ( known as consumption in those days). He was shot and took a bullet

in his chest which could not be removed because it was too close to his heart. This bullet

caused periodic infection which produced abscesses and hemorrhaging from time to time.

He got smallpox while in British captivity. His older brother died and he almost died from the experience.
