George Washington, the American revolutionary leader and
first president of the United States, died at his estate in
Mount
Vernon
, Virginia. He was 67 years old. His last words were
"’Tis well."

The diagnosis of Washington’s illness and the immediate
cause of his death have been subjects of much debate.       

     
Modern medical authors have concluded that he likely died
from 
severe epiglottitis, an inflammation in the throat,
complicated by various treatments which included extensive bloodletting.
