Ninth President of the United States William Henry Harrison passed away of causes related to pneumonia, which he suffered having read the longest inaugural address in United States presidential history.
James A. Garfield passed away 80 days after being shot. Doctors who examined him used a metal detector to attempt to locate the bullet inside him, but did not think to move him off his metal bedsprings, therefore the doctors kept poking him with metal probes, introducing infection to his body.
