At the age of 60, he felt chest pains and his heart size was found to be twice the size it should have been, a sign attributed to excessive workout. He retired and closed the Chahar Fasl Zurkhaneh two years later in 1959. His chest pains were later found to have been caused not by excessive exercise but by a digestion problem he had from his youth. He died of a brain stroke at the age of 74 in 1971, leaving behind seven daughters and two sons named Reza Akbarian and Mohammad Akbarian.

Famous quotes containing the word days:
“The days are ever divine as to the first Aryans. They are of the least pretension and of the greatest capacity of anything that exists. They come and go like muffled and veiled figures, sent from a distant friendly party; but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In days gone by, we were afraid of dying in dishonor or a state of sin. Nowadays, we are afraid of dying fools. Now the fact is that there is no Extreme Unction to absolve us of foolishness. We endure it here on earth as subjective eternity.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
