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.
