Best Answer

The 16th US President, Abraham Lincoln, was shot on April 14, 1865 and died on April 15.

*He was preceded by the deaths in office of the 9th US President, William Henry Harrison on April 4, 1841 (after 31 days of pneumonia), and the 12th US President, Zachary Taylor, on July 9, 1850 (gastroenteritis). Taylor's death was once suspected to have been poisoning, but forensic tests in 1991 proved negative.
