WI : JFK Dies Of Natural Causes Before Or After 1963 (If Not Assassinated) ?

He had spinal fusion surgery in 1954 and because of his Addison's Disease, he had a hard time recovering from it and the wound got infected.
He received Last Rites at least once during his time in the hospital.

And of course, being the Skipper on a PT Boat in the Pacific during WW II was a high risk proposition.

There were countless times before the Presidency when it looked like JFK would die of some ailment. I think that had Kennedy not been shot, he would probably have died from Addison's complications in his 60s or 70s. A couple of years ago I did a Wikibox series where he dies in 1982 at the age of 65.

I think he would have survived two terms from 1961 to 1969 and die sometime in the 1980's. But I don't think a JFK elected in 1964 or 1968 would survive two terms.
