He died in an odd way
Zachary Taylor was a peculiar political figure. Before becoming president, he was an Army officer who wore old farm clothes and fought next to his soldiers in the Mexican-American War. However, that’s far from being an interesting fact about his life.
What caught our attention about the 12th President of the United States was his death. After serving no more than 16 months in office, Taylor passed away from severe gastroenteritis caused by eating too many cherries and drinking milk. Isn’t it slightly strange?
