Any other people who have had strange deaths like " slipping in

The books about him say he was probably sitting on the toilet when he had a
heart attack and collapsed on the floor. Apparently he used to fall asleep on
the pot on occasion due to chronic constipation. He had alot of problems with
that particular bodily function, much of it probably due to his diet of drugs
and fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches and hamburgers. When he died his
colon allegedly weighed 40 pounds and what was inside there was so impacted it
was said to be like clay.

The embarrassing bit is that he has the longest acceptance speech of any
president, delivered on a freezing March day, which lead to his
contracting pneumonia. Had he just shut up, he probably would have
served out his term normally.
He also gets the honor of starting the so-called presidential 20-year
curse -- until Reagan broke it, every president elected in a year ending
in "0" had died in office. And even Reagan had to take a bullet for it.
I'm sure many out there are hoping the curse starts up again...

According to Harrison's biographer Freeman Cleaves in OLD TIPPECANOE,
Harrison showed no signs of illness for three weeks following his inaugural
address, which he did indeed deliver sans hat, sans coat, sans gloves. It
has become popular mythology that it was this defiance of the cold on his
inaugural day that did Harrison in. In actuality, he caught a bad cold
three weeks later, on March 26, after being caught out in the rain during
his daily walk (though the cold seems more likely the result of thousands of
handshakes than mere rain, since cold and damp themselves are not virus
carriers). The cold became worse overnight and the 67-year-old president
called for a doctor the next day, March 27. The doctor diagnosed pneumonia
and intestinal inflammation, which he called "bilious pleurisy." Harrison
spent a week in bed, felt much better, but then had a relapse on April 3, at
which time the doctors proclaimed him beyond recovery. Though his lungs had
improved and his breathing was easier, stomach and intestinal distress were
severe, and Harrison died the next day, April 4. Harrison's contemporaries
made no connection between the inaugural day weather and Harrison's death,
particularly as he claimed to feel in excellent health and was seen to
function with surprising robustness for his age during the entire first
three weeks of his presidency.

What always got me about his death is that nobody found him for about two weeks
after the fact. As famous a celebrity as William Holden was, you'd have
thought one of his friends or a family member or neighbor or maid or butler or
agent or reporter who missed an interview with him would have inquired about
him sooner. It never made sense that a guy like him could be MISSING for so
long without somebody asking where the hell he was. It wasn't like he was on
vacation in some remote part of the world, IIRC he was in his house in greater
LA.

***Well, there's that. And the fact that standing in the cold without a hat
doesn't spontaneously generate bacteria or viruses in your lungs.
IIRC, Harrison also had refused to wear a top hat that day, something about
he wanted to be seen better by the people by not having a hat donned upon
his head. Which goes to prove, arrogance will get you killed.
Ah, a man after my own heart. Jim, you do not know how many times I have
argued with others on the fact that you *cannot* catch a cold by being wet,
and out in the cold weather. It is a virus, transmitted through close
airborne or physical contact with someone who has a cold. There was even a
doctor on TV who stated that you can run out in the rain all you want, and
all that you will get, is wet. So much for my Harrison died by not wearing a
hat theory, which I had been taught as a yonker, back in the hills, in the
one-room school house here in Ky. *actually, I attended public school, it
just sounded funnier to say it that way*
Pleurisy, OTOH, is not usually fatal, but you will sure think you are dying.
I found this doing a Google search. I thought it was so sad that he bled to
death when some stitches to his wound would have saved him, but he was too

My considered opinion is that Harrison succumbed to the sequelae of a
particularly nasty strain of influenza which was making the rounds
that year. However, since no postmortem was reported, we'll never
know whether there was an underlying condition which hastened the old
general's road to Valhalla.
In 1841, he was already pushing the envelope of longevity and would
have been considered ancient by average folks, most of whom never saw
their fortieth birthday.
One thing you mentioned, Wiz, does have some bearing on the appearance
of symptoms in the cases of virally-transmitted illnesses like colds
or flu: External Pernicious Influences, as they are called by the
Chinese (in Mandarin, I assume), such as wind, rain, and dampness, can
suppress the human immune system and thus provide a more hospitable
incubator for the already transmitted viruses. Physical exhaustion
and depression can likewise play a role in the appearance of symptoms.
I suspect that, then as now, the prospect of being responsible for the
daily administration of the Federal government would be physically
exhausting and more than a little melancholy.

Indeed, Holden was a late stage chronic alcoholic who was given to
reclusive benders. His death was very, very sad and not all that
unusual for alcoholics with means. The friends and intimates of such
alcoholics -- so I've been told -- learn over the years to leave them
alone when they're "on a toot."
He was a brilliant actor. I really miss his brand of screen star.

Damn, next you'll be telling us that Millard Fillmore didn't install

Thank you for that excerpt. I had no idea the pneumonia story was a
fake.
The sheet is marked for John Doe #477. If Holden died at home, why
would they bring him in as a John Doe?
The sheet shows an appendectomy scar. Did Holden have one?
What is a "skin slip"? Several are noted.
The main thing here is that he had blood on his hands and down the
front of his shirt and on his shorts. I think he hit his head, tried
to stop the flow of blood, stood up and passed out, maybe from the
concussion. The sheet shows a major head wound. The idea that he just
passed out drunk and fell and hit his head doesn't work, given these
findings.

You're trying to compare Moore's anti-war sentiment to Polanski's rape
of a child? No shame at all, I guess.
Nothing whatsoever about such beliefs in the Cleaves biography, the only WHH
bio I've read. I never heard the notion before. Taylor was indeed exhumed
to look for arsenic in his system--no trace of poisons was found. But
incidentally, the Taylor biography I read, K. Jack Bauer's 1985 ZACHARY
TAYLOR gives no suggestion of even a rumor of poisoning in Taylor's case.
It's made pretty clear that, despite widespread warnings against consuming
milk, unboiled water, and fresh fruit during the cholera crisis taking place
in Washington at the time, President Taylor attended a gathering at which he
ate ALL of those things. He was diagnosed with cholera within a day or so,
and his symptoms were perfectly in line with that diagnosis. I'm not sure
when the arsenic story came into play, but it's not mentioned in Bauer's
biography, the best one I could find on Taylor.

Everything I've found indicates that Williams, inebriated, accidentally
swallowed the cap to either a pill bottle or (more likely) nose drops,
possibly while using the nose drop bottle to administer drugs. The cap
lodged in his windpipe and he choked to death. There seems to be no
question among the authorities and Williams's family that these are the
basic facts.

You are quite wrong, madam. And there is much clinical data to back
up the supposition that environmental factors do have a direct bearing
on the immune system.

Wild guess:
-They found a body in William Holden's home.
-Face unrecognizable
-No dental records checked yet
-He's John Doe until a positive ID is made that he's Holden and not, say, Kato
Kaelin.
And I believe you are absolutely correct, Sir. By the time of his
death, Tennessee Williams was much too debilitated and debauched to
have died in flagrante delicto. Moreover, his autobiography relates,
in some explicit detail, how much he feared dying of aspiration or
asphyxia. Apparently this neurosis was borne from his aspiration of
vomitus during a reaction to ether during surgery in the 20s.
Like much of Williams life, his death was ironic.

On February 24, 1983, Tennessee Williams choked to death on a bottle cap
at his New York City residence at the Hotel Elysee.

It was judged by the coroner to have been a little less than a week; not two
weeks. And it was never proven that he was drunk at the time.
It's amazing how hard it is to dispel these urban legends.

It's interesting that you deduced from the above that he was "drunk" and "fell"
when all it says is that he "apparently" fell. It says nothing about his being
drunk.

Indeed, you are correct. There was a fascinating clinical study done
in New Zealand about five years ago which found a correlation between
ambient temperature, serum cortisol levels and the manifestation of
symptoms in Post-Polio Syndrome. In the practice of clinical
medicine, in both the Western tradition beginning with Hippocrates and
in the Eastern tradition, it has always been taken for granted that
extremes in the ambient temperature were severe physical stressors on
the body and rendered the organism susceptible to disease.
Thus far, data have supported this premise, rather than refuting it.

I watched a C-SPAN video, last night as a matter of fact, with Dr. Richard
Greathouse, the Jefferson Coroner, who oversaw the examination of Zack's
exhumed body. They found no evidence whatsoever that Taylor was poisoned
with arsenic, based on three different tests, and the ultimate finding was
that he more than likely succumb to cholera morbus, as well as various
medicinal concoctions that the well-meaning physicians administered to him
also. No doubt, the fact that he was exhumed and reburied at least three
times, solidified the fact that he was dead.

If I am not mistaken, after a few days of decomposition, the skin, primarily
the dermal layer, tends to "slip", or "slide". It is predominate in the
cases of bodies pulled from the water, which speeds up this process. It's
similar to your skin "peeling" away after a severe sunburn.
So, when they found him, was his eye opened or closed?
While he was probably intoxicated to a degree, a raging alkie like him
might be less impaired at .22 than you or I would be at .08. The
alcohol level wasn't *necessarily* a contributing factor to his death,
though that's the way I'd bet.

***The other thing to consider, though, is that Holden didn't die right
away--he bled to death over a period of hours (IIRC). No doubt his blood
alcohol level was even higher when he tripped.

Well, William Holden tripped while intoxicated and hit his head on a marble
tabletop...and subsequently bled to death. That's pretty embarrassing,
especially since he wasn't found until days later.
Also, I've long heard the rumor that F.W. Murnau ("Tabu," "Sunrise") decided to
let his young houseboy drive his limo in the Hollywood Hills while he (Murnau)
performed fellatio -- an act that understandably distracted the driver who
caused the crash that killed them both. Surely they would have been embarrassed
had they been alive when the cops arrived.

Who eve said that canadians could structure sentences properly?
Mr. Hexum's heart was transplanted into a Las Vegas pimp shortly after
the actor's death. I lived in Vegas at the time and the transplant
caused quite a stir.
Other embarrassing deaths:
George Sanders's suicide could be viewed as embarrassing. He allegedly
wrote curses all over his body in woman's lipstick before he hung
himself.
Charlie "Lucky" Lucianno dropped dead of a heart attack as he walked
to greet a screenwriter planning to immortalize the dapper gangster on
film. His death was more vain than embarrassing.
Paul Stojanovich's recent death would also qualify as clumsy and
embarrassing.

Intoxication can exacerbate shock, too, even apart from the motor

***Jesus. It's not like it's any big secret--there's all kind of evidence.
Here's the first thing a google search turned up:
Ask the Bridge
Does the temperature outside have anything to do with the body's susceptibility
to catching a cold or virus? If not, why are so many people infected during the
winter?
One of the most common myths is that exposure to cold temperatures leads to
colds. More upper respiratory infections occur during the winter months, but
this is because of greater exposure to viruses indoors -- where we spend a lot
of time avoiding the chilly weather.
"Cold temperatures do not cause colds," says CAS Biology Professor Stjepko
Golubic. "Historically, Eskimos and people in the northern latitudes, before
being exposed to viruses from white people, did not suffer from colds."
You are more likely to catch the common cold in the winter, however, because
humidity drops. Colds and viruses love dry weather. When mucus is moist, it's
better able to capture the viruses and pass them to the stomach, where they
perish in acid.
And the more infected people you are exposed to, the greater your chances of
catching a cold. "Personally, I've noticed that if I don't teach for a
prolonged period, or if I don't take the trolley for a while, my exposure is
limited," says Golubic. But that doesn't mean you should become a hermit. One
safeguard against the common cold is simply to wash your hands frequently and
thoroughly.
"You can also catch a cold or virus more easily in any season if your body's
defenses are down," adds Golubic. "For example, if you don't get enough sleep
or if you're under stress, the cold is better able to attack your immune
system. Older people are less resistant to colds and viruses."
What should you do when you get a cold? Double your fluid intake, because colds
thrive in dryness. This doesn't mean drinking alcoholic beverages and coffee:
they dehydrate. Try herbal teas or a combination of hot water, lemon juice, and
honey -- hot liquids speed up mucus flow, which will get the virus out of your
system more quickly.

But THAT was precisely my point! Enviromental factors play a role in
the stimulation and suppression of the immune system. Ambient
temperature is one of those factors.
I never proposed that one catches the flu or a head cold because of
the ambient temperature. The supposition was that the ambient
temperature can render one more susceptible to infection through
suppression of the immune system. The research I cited purports to
demonstrate a direct correlation between quanitifiable immunological
responses in the organism and external environmental factors.
Of course, now we've come far afield of the presumptive cause of
President Harrison's unfortunately timed demise.

Madam, I don't know what your point it, but it isn't science. I'm
beginning to suspect that you're just one of those people who loves
the sound of her own voice.
I stated succinctly my thesis -- at your rather rude insistence -- and
I provided you with documentation. In reply, you cite some FAQ from a
self-help website, then you make an a priori pronouncement and
gratuitously restate my side of the argument.
You are either a troll or an impertinent fool. Either way, I don't
need you.
Find another sparring partner.
Before this turns into a "Loser Leave Town Match", no seems to have
mentioned the fact that in WHH's official portrait, his nose is slightly
reddish, to which, IIRC, was to reflect his physically ill state during his
brief term as president, or at least that is how the legend goes.
I was always told "don't worry about the embarrassment, just call an ambulance
and we'll worry about covering it up later."
Megan Marshak (sp?) was a fool.

It was refuted by the autopsy, which showed there was trace of no food
in her throat and that she had in fact died of a heart attack. Early
reports of her death suggested, without basis, that she had choked on
a sandwich, and as it circulated the story became further elaborated
and embellished, with the specification of the sandwich being a *ham*
one added either as a symbol of gluttony referring to her weight or as
an antisemitic jab. Despite the prompt debunking, this canard has
persisted for nearly 30 years.

That may have been the charge. As a criminal defense attorney I can
assure you that people often plea to lesser included charges. Larry
King interviewed the woman Polanski raped recently. From her
statement, there was nothing consensual about it. The court documents
at the time also support the fact this was rape. Before you defend
this pervert, and attack fellow posters on this site, maybe you should
do a little homework. Polanski's Oscar is a travesty.

Thank you, Wiz. I didn't know it was a post-mortem thing, and what you
say makes sense.
I got it. But ONLY because I watched Six Feet Under this week.
What are you saying, Sheriff? Is Harrison's red nose the telltale
mark of a chronic inebriate? A dypso? A tippler?
Or could it simply be the political or aesthetic statement of a wry or
bored portrait artist?
Perhaps Old Tippecanoe suffered from pemphigus? Perhaps his ruddy
complexion masked an underlying CHF or betrayed a chronic
hypertension? Perhaps his probiscus was a beacon of shattered
capillaries screaming to any trained eye that its sallow-faced owner
was being poisoned?
Perhaps those vertical creases transecting the earlobes (once
considered pathognomonic for heart disease) belie the popular image of
a robust and strong folk hero?
The questions are easy to frame. The answers are difficult to prove.
Harrison was, in truth, nothing like his popular image. He was the
scion of Virginia gentry, educated and refined, contemptuous of the
hoi polloi who eventually propelled him to the White House.
In short, he may have been Roger Ailes first client...
My goodness another closed-minded knee-jerkin' dimwit & a lawyer
to boot.
I did not, in any form, manner, and/or matter, state that I defend, in any
form, manner and/or matter olde roman p.
Next, as a lawyer {do you still have a soul, just wondering ?}, you
should be, but not must be, aware that "stories {& as a lawyer you
realize, even if you do not understand "best story wins"}" change,
within minutes let alone decades.
Then you must truly realize, again while not really understanding, that
"a story" for a certain person or group immediately takes on a "new",
if not "a different" slant for our newest apostle TV, TV, TV, eh ?
Finally, for this post but not for the topic itself, how is the R.P. crime
different from the shrub's "war" crimes in light of travesties ?
We won't even get into the aspect of this war that you and most of your
fellow lawyers are most aware of and, in fact, is the prime focus of
your lives; greed.
Oh, instead of focusing on R.P. maybe you & your crowd should
concern yourselves with the americaaaans who practice screwing
your nation to any available wall with most of these true "terrorists"
working "within" your ??legal system??.
Methinks, as do many, many, many others you and your current
fascist admin, have their priorities somewhat ass backwards.
Ahhh who the fuck cares and pass me another brew.
