 U.S. Presidents

Who Died In Office

Since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1787, and the inauguration of our first president in 1789, only 43 men have served as President of the United States , and Barack Obama became the newest president when he was sworn in on January 20, 2009. Obama is considered the 44th president, even though 43 have served. One president served twice in non-consecutive terms, and is therefore counted twice.

Of those 43 presidents, eight have died while serving as president. Four of natural causes, and four through assassination. Below is list of those eight presidents who died in office.

 

William Henry Harrison -The 9th President, who died in 1841 of pneumonia and pleurisy.
