Where was Thomas Paine born and when and where did he die and what caused his death?
Greetings, Katie! Thomas Paine was born in Thetford, England. He died in New York City after suffering from what physicians at the time called “apoplexy” (which is like a stroke)and “dropsy” (an abnormal aculation of fluids in the body). He was 72 and had been in poor health off and on for several years.
