How did U.S President Abraham Lincoln die?

Answer 1

Abraham Lincoln was the first president to die of assassination. He was shot in the back of his head by John Wilkes Booth, a well known actor and Confederate spy from Maryland. Lincoln's assassination was at Ford's Theatre in Washington, where he had been watching Our American Cousin on April 14, 1865, which was Good Friday. He was shot once, at point blank range, at approximately 10:15 PM.

Once he was shot, he was carried from the theatre to a boarding house, across the street from the theatre, where he was set to lay, in a bed and he remained in a comatose state for over 8 hours. Many doctors offered to help, and some examined the president but there was ultimately nothing to be done, as the bullet was lodged deep in the president's brain.

He died at approximately 7:22 a.m., the following morning, on April 15, 1865, after a 9-hour coma.
