Last words not recorded, but I'm sure he was smiling....

Hey that guy is nothing. One of our President, Felix Faure, died at the age of 58 (1899) while making love to his mistress.
And Americans are making a big deal about a president acting as a college boy.
As a result, George Clemenceau declared that "Felix Faure returned to nothingness".
That is of course, the official one. At the time, it was said that he died from a blowjob (untrue/unverified). Another saying about Felix Faure by Clemenceau is very hard to translate: "Il voulu être César, il ne fut que Pompée" (He wanted to be caesar, he was only pumped". Then, his mistress (Marguerite Steinhell) was nicknamed the "funeral pump".
By the way that shouldn't be the Marshal de Saxe (that one died at 54, from a mortal wound resulting from a duel).
