About this quiz
Eight presidents have died in office, four of natural causes and four by assassination. All eight served between 1841 and 1963, so the board covers exactly those years.
- William Henry Harrison was the first, one month after his inauguration in 1841.
- The four who were assassinated are Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy.
- The grid is in alphabetical order and never moves.

Note on the data. The House of Representatives' table marks the presidents who died in office, and the split between natural causes and assassination is the one in Ribbia's us-presidents quiz. The board is every president numbered 9 to 35 in that table. Checked on 3 October 2026.
