The Deaths of U.S. Presidents
This is kind of a morbid way to celebrate Presidents Day, but take it how you want it. Out of curiosity I looked up some info on the deaths of US Presidents. I was searching for more on something in the lines of Death By Natural Causes of U.S. Presidents but didn’t come on anything that gave the information I was looking for. Some of the information here is stuff you learned in grade school and some of it is things you had no idea about. It’s pretty interesting when you look at it and see what they don’t teach you in school. I even heard this morning on the radio that James Buchanan was allegedly homosexual. Not that it makes any difference to me. To each his own. Ironically he was engaged before he was elected but he broke off the engagement and his ex-fiance committed suicide. Anyway, this is what I found out about U.S. Presidents Deaths.
