He died in a San Francisco hotel room on August 2nd, and though the official cause of death was stroke, an affair with Warren's mistress Nan Britton, The Teapot Dome Scandal, the quick retracting of the cause of death, and many varying accounts of Warren's health led to outlandish rumors. These included intentional malpractice, and a jealous wife poisoning him. Since his wife refused an autopsy, the mystery remains. What happened to Warren G Harding?
