Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, at the age of 83. His health had been declining for several years, and he suffered from various ailments, including respiratory issues. He passed away just hours after hearing about the death of John Adams, his longtime friend and political rival, marking the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which he authored. Jefferson's death was attributed to complications related to his declining health, including possibly pneumonia.
