General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. 3rd Army,
died in his sleep of pulmonary edema and congestive heart
failure from injuries suffered, not in battle, but in a freak car
accident at the age of 60.
While some have mourned what was a tragic loss at the time,

anything but an accident.
Fueling speculation that the accident involving a U.S. Army
truck was not an accident but a coordinated assassination.
