In 4 April 1841 President William H. Harisson died of pneumonia after a nasty cold he had contracted earlier in March (propably during his inauguration) causing a constitutional crisis about presidential succession.
Eventually after the advice of Chief Justice R. Taney Vice-President Tyler took the oath of office and became President for the remainder of Harrison's term.
