[D] How did I meet my death?

I remained head of the US Navy until the sad day of my death on September 12, 1803. I died because of my harsh complications of asthma. On September 14, 1803, two days after my death, I received a salute given by my whole country in a full military burial in Philadelphia's Old St. Mary's Churchyard. "Such was the man, John Barry, a gallant mariner who served his Nation well and stood tall in the annals of American naval history."
