Good news for inauguration

[question everything]

10. President William Henry Harrison

America’s ninth president barely lasted a month in office. William Henry Harrison wasn’t assassinated like some of our later entries but died in 1841 of an acute illness originally diagnosed as pneumonia.

The longstanding belief was that Harrison fell ill after delivering a nearly two-hour Inaugural Address in wet, freezing-cold weather without a jacket, hat or gloves.

But in 2014, epidemiologists concluded that Harrison’s chief symptoms—fatigue and severe abdominal distress—pointed to typhoid contracted from tainted drinking water.

Harrison wouldn’t be the last president to fall victim to Washington, D.C.’s lack of a sewage system, but he safely holds the title of the shortest-serving American president.
