The first person to die on the Lewis and Clark expedition was Sergeant Charles Floyd. He passed away on August 20, 1804, near present-day Sioux City, Iowa. Floyd's death was attributed to a suspected burst appendix or other related illness, making him the only member of the expedition to die during the journey. His burial site is marked and is a historical landmark today.
