Some historians believe that Harding, who was personally honest (his weakness was women, not lining his pockets) was beginning to realize just how corrupt some of his friends and cronies were and that the stress of worrying about impending scandal contributed to his untimely death. There's also been speculation that his jealous wife had him poisoned, but it's most likely he died from complications of a food-borne infection. No one knows for sure because the doctors who had been treating him just prior to his death all gave different descriptions of his illness, and his wife had him embalmed in record time.

I'd never heard that story of the mystery surrounding his death.
His monument is quite lovely.
And is that you in there, dwarfed by the columns?
My daughter. It does give some sense of scale to have a human in the photo, doesn't it?
