https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Theodore_Roosevelt

As an experienced hunter and anatomist, Roosevelt correctly concluded that since he was not coughing blood, the bullet had not reached his lung

Roosevelt ordered, "Bring him to me." Schrank was led to Roosevelt, and the two men looked into each other's eyes. Putting his hands on Schrank's head so he could look at him, and to determine if he had seen him before, Roosevelt said to Schrank, "What did you do it for?" Getting no response, he said, "Oh, what's the use? Turn him over to the police."


At his trial, the would-be assassin claimed that William McKinley's ghost had visited him in a dream and told him to avenge his assassination by killing Roosevelt.

Teddy has been my favorite president since it was a book about him as a kid. Definitely the manliest president besides Washington.

On the other hand, another president gave a speech during a storm and got sick then died from it.

Also why he refused to wear a mask. Didnt want to smudge his makeup.

edit; OMFG I just realized that the reason for anti maskers is Rump didnt want to fuck up his makeup!!

The more I think about this, the more I want William McKinley's ghost's involvement to be canon in the same way I think that Richard III was really visited by ghosts the night before he was killed in battle.

There's a fairly convincing argument that's been made recently that, rather than pneumonia, Harrison actually died from typhoid fever likely caused by untreated drinking water. His initial symptoms were chiefly gastrointestinal rather than pulmonary.

It's likely he also caught pneumonia at some point based on some other symptoms he displayed later, but it probably wouldn't have come from his inauguration speech since pneumonia doesn't typically have that long of an incubation period. It's more likely that he picked it up at some later point and it was worsened by his already fragile state due to the typhoid.

He managed to handle that peacefully and was merciful instead of giving the big stick treatment like Charles Sumner got.
