built 606 days ago
Under the pressures of wartime leadership, Roosevelt's health deteriorated. After the Yalta Conference, Roosevelt, exhausted from overwork, traveled to his Warm Springs, Ga., spa for a vacation in the spring of 1945. He died there on April 12 of a cerebral hemorrhage.

A friend, George Foster Peabody recommended a stay at a resort the wealthy philanthropist had just purchased near Warm Springs, Georgia where the warm, mineral-rich water might help Roosevelt. From 1924 until his death in 1945 Roosevelt made over 40 visits to the inn. In 1926 Roosevelt bought the resort and founded a center for therapy of polio patients that operates today as the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation. The foundation later created a separate center for African-American victims of polio at Tuskegee College, because of segregation imposed by Georgia law.

The campaign and election were a strain on Roosevelt. In the early spring of 1945, he went to Warm Springs, Georgia in an effort to recapture his flagging health. He was really exhausted. At the end of his fourth term, he was still finishing signing papers on the morning of April 12,1945. Within hours, he suffered from massive cerebral hemorrhage that killed him. Harry Truman took oath of office and became president that same day.
