What caused the death of George Washington?
um.. diphtheria?
No @Roxy.girl
In the 215 years since Washington died, several retrospective diagnoses have been offered ranging from croup, quinsy, Ludwig's angina, Vincent's angina, diphtheria, and streptococcal throat infection to acute pneumonia. But Dr. Morens's suggestion of acute bacterial epiglottitis seems most likely. ~ http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/dec-14-1799-excruciating-final-hours-president-george-washington/
George Washington, the American revolutionary leader and first president of the United States, dies of acute laryngitis at his estate in Mount Vernon, Virginia. He was 67 years old.
