Answer:
How did Iain Norman Macleod die?
On 20 June 1970, two days after the Conservative Party's unexpected election victory, Macleod was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer by the new Prime Minister, Heath.[74] Despite being in pain, he made his one and only major speech on the economy as chancellor on 7 July 1970.[1] In the speech Macleod bemoaned the high level of inflation and, at the same time, the highest level of unemployment since 1940.[51] Later that day he was rushed to hospital with what was thought at first to be appendicitis, but was in fact a Pelvic Diverticulum.[75] He was discharged 11 days later; yet at 10.30pm on 20 July, while in 11 Downing Street, he suffered a massive heart attack and died at 11.35pm.[1]
