Harry S. Truman, US President from 1945 to 1953, died of multiple organ failures after being admitted to the hospital with lung congestion due to pneumonia.

When he died in December of 1972 at 88.6 years of age, he was the 3rd-longest-lived US President, after John Adams and Herbert Hoover, the first two Presidents to pass the age of 90. He has since dropped to 7th place, having been passed by Ronald Reagan on September 25, 1999, Gerald Ford on March 2, 2002, George H. W. Bush on January 29, 2013, and Jimmy Carter on May 20, 2013.
