grow old in office and peacefully pass away?

As opposed to being beaten to death (Gaddafi), killed by firing squad, then beaten, hung upside down in a public square, then buried in an unmarked grave (Mussolini and his mistress, Claretta), or, after starting a bloody civil war, was convicted of treason (because he "...was found guilty of attempting to rule according to his will, and to overthrow the rights and liberties of the people." Sound familiar?) then was beheaded by ax (England's Charles I)?
