Daniel Hale williams III died on August 4, 1931 (aged 75)
Idlewild, Michigan. He died from a stroke. I Admire him and his work because he took education first in high school then learned how to do surgery on hearts and wounds. If he was stiul alive today he wouldve help save lives today taking risk to help there lives taking bullets stabs clearing it out of the body. My report on him is he was a good surgeon.
