{UAH} Today the US sets a record for not having a president die in office - Quartz

The fact that Barack Obama woke up today marks a major historical milestone—yet it's likely to go largely unnoticed. It's now been 18,967 days since a US president died in office. That means the nation has now entered its longest period without losing a president to an assassin or illness.

This record reflects dramatic advances in medical science and the increasing sophistication of presidential security—the occasional White House fence-jumper notwithstanding. The previous record was 18,966 days, running from George Washington's inauguration on April 30, 1789 to William Henry Harrison's death by pneumonia on April 4, 1841.
