On June 20, 2003, shortly after getting off a plane to Los Angeles after a two week visit to Europe, Axelrod, who had been complaining of chest pain, dizziness and arm pain the whole flight, suddenly collapsed of a severe heart attack and was taken to the UCLA Medical Center where, despite doctors' attempts to revive him, he never regained consciousness and died following a second heart attack two days later on June 22 at the age of 81. He was cremated the following day and his ashes were scattered at sea.

Famous quotes containing the word death:

    In every unbeliever’s heart there is an uneasy feeling that, after all, he may awake after death and find himself immortal. This is his punishment for his unbelief. This is the agnostic’s Hell.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    For, surely, surely, where
    Your voice and graces are,
    Nothing of death can any feel or know.
    Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
