U.S. presidents come in all forms. There are smart and dumb presidents, ones who tell ( controversial lies, and presidents who are outright terrible people. Then there are the presidents who died while on the job. Until recently, the United States has never gone longer than 44 years without a president dying during his term. There are a few presidents who died while in office, and with any luck, Donald Trump won’t be next!

William Henry Harrison

Years in office: 1841

1841 Died: April 4, 1841

Harrison has two undesirable presidential factoids to his name: The first of the presidents who died while in office, and shortest term. The runner-up in the 1836 election, Harrison edged Martin Van Buren to win in 1840 but he didn’t get to celebrate his victory. Just 30 days after his early March inauguration, Harrison caught a cold and died on April 4, 1841.

Zachary Taylor

Years in office: 1849-50

Died: July 9, 1850

One of the most hated American presidents had probably the most gruesome death of all the presidents who died while in office. After falling ill following some July 4 celebrations, Taylor developed a severe case of diarrhea and died a few days later. Conspiracy theorists believed southern secessionists poisoned him because of his slavery policies, but he probably died from a food-borne illness or microbes living in Washington, D.C.’s, open sewers.

Abraham Lincoln

He was one of the first presidents who died while in office and the first who was assassinated.

James Garfield

Died: Sept. 19, 1881

The owner of one of the worst presidential portraits suffered for a long time before he joined the ranks of presidents who died while in office. An assassin shot James Garfield on July 2, 1881, in the shoulder and back, but the wounds weren’t immediately fatal. Garfield had some ups and downs, but his condition didn’t improve and he died more than two months after being shot.

William McKinley

Years in office: 1897-1901

Almost 20 years to the day after James Garfield died from his assassination attempt, William McKinley suffered the same fate. He was shot while meeting the public on Sept. 6, 1901, and died from gangrene eight days later. McKinley shunned having a security detail, but after his assassination, Congress passed a law making the secret service protect the president.

Roosevelt died from a massive stroke less than a month before World War II fighting ended in Europe.
