George was a man that had a strict schedule every day. Since he had a large plantation to oversee his habit was to get up every morning, without fail, and ride the plantation checking on crops, slaves, and other other matters. About three days before he died he had an awful cold, but stuck to his schedule even though it was cold and wet outside. He came back wet and cold, had breakfast ( his usual routine) and ended up with pneumonia. Three days later he was dead. Martha was so upset she didn't attend his funeral, but watched from an upstairs window. She locked herself in her room and wouldn't come out for several months.

What cause George Washington's death?

The great George Washington, after his presidential and military years, returned to the quiet life he preferred in Mount Vernon with his wife. One day in December 1799, Washington spent the day tending to work outside in freezing weather. He came inside and spent the rest of the day without changing from his soaked clothing, and started to tell his wife of a soar throat. This being 1799, no medicine was able to get to him quick enough to cure the sickness, if there was any, and he died two days later in his house.
