He developed symptoms three weeks later after running around in the rain and not changing his clothes. He also had terrible diarrhea the day or so before he died. His doc said he died of pneumonia and a congested liver. An analysis in 2014 says he likely died of septic shock and was drinking sewage infested water. The same thing also killed president Taylor a few years later. In 1857 Buchanan almost didn't make it to his inauguration due to drinking contaminated DC water.
