James Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, died from complications related to a gunshot wound. He was shot by Charles Guiteau on July 2, 1881, and despite initial survival, Garfield suffered from infections and poor medical treatment. He ultimately succumbed to his injuries on September 19, 1881, after enduring over two months of suffering. His death highlighted the medical practices of the time, particularly the dangers of infection and the lack of aseptic techniques.
