> Something I just got a wonderment about: How many people have died in the White House? There’ve been several Presidents who’ve died in office. Checking their Wikipages, I find that three died there: William Henry Harrison Zachary Taylor James A. Garfield Another death there was Willie Lincoln, son of Abraham. I don’t know of any others. Have there been more?
