If you don't have a front-loading washing machine, go to the laundromat. Down comforters become heavy and bulky with water and can damage the balance of top-loading washing machines. Comforters can also become tangled and rip in washing machines that are too small.
Martha Washington died with a high fever of 105.3 and heart failure. She died at age 70, on May 22, 1802. She was depressed after George died and more of less wasted away.
George Washington probably died from pneumonia causing in acute epiglottitis, which causes death by inflaming the epiglottis and slowly constricting the throat until the patient suffocates. He probably caught his sickness from his habitual horseback rides, which he took in the middle of a snowy day in December, then choosing not to change his wet clothes because there were guests visiting Mount Vernon.
