Death
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:
“Though you forget the way to the Temple,
There is one who remembers the way to your door:
Life you may evade, but Death you shall not.
You shall not deny the Stranger.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Perhaps it is nothingness which is real and our dream which is non-existent, but then we feel think that these musical phrases, and the notions related to the dream, are nothing too. We will die, but our hostages are the divine captives who will follow our chance. And death with them is somewhat less bitter, less inglorious, perhaps less probable.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“There is no sorrow more grievous than the death of one’s spirit.”
—Chinese proverb.
