New Topic, Old Game..

Okay, I'll end this...Charles Guiteau (a Lawyer by the way) shot US President James Garfield in July, 1881, and the President died some months later in September. However not from the gun shot wound, but from infections inflicted by doctors poking and probing the wound with unwashed hands and non-sterilized instruments.

Guiteau claimed at his trial that "The doctors killed Garfield, I just shot him". But he was convicted and hanged as his assassin in June 1882 anyway. Much later it was shown that medical malpractice was indeed the cause of Garfields death.

Oh well! Death to anarchy.
 
Correct, Lazarus. Ironically, the vice president was Chester A. Arthur, who was suffering from Bright's disease (a fatal kidney ailment) and died soon after his term ended. Garfield probably would have lived had the doctors been more careful.

You go.
 
Okay, you have stirred my interest in unusual famous deaths. Here's one that will need some historical accuracy:

That's him. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> Better known as Wild Bill Hickok

I heard that there was supposed to be two more 2 hour movies to tie up the loose ends on the Deadwood series. I'm still waiting for them. It was one of the best series on TV.

I guess you'd better go again, Laz. Meigger will be in and out for a little while before he comes back.
