William Henry Harrison, ninth President of the United States, served for only 30 days before pneumonia killed him. He was the first president to die in office. He was succeeded by John Tyler, but Harrison's death revealed flaws, which were resolved, in the constitutional succession. His death was long attributed to his catching cold as a result of exposure during the inauguration, but he didn't catch the cold until three weeks later.
