Three months later, he died in St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, and was buried in Tallahassee, Florida. His death was caused by a brain tumor.

And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity ... of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.”
—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
