Garfield suffered for weeks from the lodging of the bullet inside him, first in the White House and then at a New Jersey seaside location.  Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, attempted to find the internal bullet with his own invention, an induction-balance electrical device.  All attempts at removing the bullet were unsuccessful, and Garfield died on September 19, 1881 from an infection and internal hemorrhage.<ref>http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/jg20.html</ref>
