I believe it was William McKinley. First was Abraham Lincoln, second James Garfield, third William McKinley, and fourth John F. Kennedy.
He was the third to be assassinated and the 25th US president.
William McKinley.
William McKinley
McKinley had that unfortunate distinction.
No former US president was ever assassinated. Theodore Roosevelt escaped an assassination attempt while he was running for a third term in 1912. I can not think of any non-US former presidents who were assassinated.
John Kennedy was assassinated in 1963; Vice president Lyndon Johnson was then sworn in as President.
US President Abraham Lincoln was the first US president to be assassinated. He was not the first to die in office, however. The ninth US president, President William Henry Harrison died shortly after his inauguration in 1841. John Tyler, the vice president then took over as president as per the US Constitution. The 12th US President, Zachary Taylor died in office in 1850.
