Your personal choice of "most tragic" character in the assassination story

[RJNorton]

Bill, I got my first Commodore 64 in 1984, and I have been totally addicted to computers since then. So the fascination has been going on for 28 years now.

Here's another "unusual" death:

William A. Petersen, the German tailor in whose house the president died, accidentally took too much laudanum (a mixture of alcohol and opium derivatives) on June 19, 1871. He was found by Washington police on a park bench. The police took him to the station where they tried to pump his stomach. However, it was too late, and Petersen passed away. Petersen's wife, Anna, died exactly four months later.

This information comes from a book written by Petersen's great, great, great grandson, Robert Bain.
