I had to look it up:  Sargent Shriver?

Not the one I'm thinking of.  This person is a sitting politician.

Gene McCarthy?

Got it.

McCarthy based his political alliances very much on personal politics.  Humphrey, the other Minnesota Senator, getting the VP nod instead of him really turned him sour towards Humphrey and Johnson and contributed to him running in 1968.

[True Democrat]

Don't know the Australian question, but to get this back on topic, which two White House residents have died from complications from exposure to the weather at a Presidential inauguration?

I know William Henry Harrison is one.  Now since you said residents, I assume the other one is not a President.
