Answer 2

Patton, as it is spelled, died after a jeep wreck.

On December 9th, a day before he was due to return to the United States, Patton was severely injured in a road accident. He and his chief of staff, Major General Hobart R. 'Hap' Gay, were on a daytrip to hunt pheasants in the country outside Mannheim. It was a cold, wet, hazy December morning. Their 1939 Cadillac Model 75 was driven by PFC Horace Woodring (1926 - 2003). Patton sat in the back seat, on the right with General Gay on his left, as per custom. At 11:45 near Neckarstadt, (Käfertal), a 2½ ton truck driven by T/5 Robert L. Thompson appeared out of the haze and made a left-hand turn towards a side road. The Cadillac smashed into the truck. General Patton was thrown forward and his head struck a metal part of the partition between the front and back seats. Gay and Woodring were uninjured. Paralyzed from the neck down, George Patton died of an embolism on 21st December 1945 at the military hospital in Heidelberg, Germany with his wife present.

Answer 3

Some of what you say is factual but you left out the part that his wife had written thatshe had left the room and was summoned back to find her husband had already past. In 1979, September 25, Douglas Bazata who worked with the pre-CIA (OSS) told a gathering of over 450 retired agents he new who kille Gen. Patton and paid $10K for do it by Bill Donavan.

Answer 4

Because he didn't die in 1946. Do you mean HOW did he die?
