On July 9, 1850, after only 16 months in office, President
Zachary Taylor (65) died after a brief illness. The exact
cause of his death is still disputed by some historians.

He was suffering from symptoms that included severe
cramping, diarrhea, nausea and dehydration.

His personal physicians concluded that he had succumbed
to cholera morbus, a bacterial infection of the small intestine.

His vice president, Millard Fillmore, was sworn in as the new
president the next day.
