Death
On July 1, 1996, one day before the anniversary of her grandfather's own suicide, Hemingway was found dead in her studio apartment in Santa Monica, at age 42. She had taken an overdose of phenobarbital, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's findings one month later.
Though her death was ruled a suicide, family members disputed this finding. Steve Crisman, Mariel Hemingway's then-husband in 1996, told People that year, "This was the best I'd seen her in years. She had gotten herself back together." On a December 22, 2005, edition of Larry King Live, however, Mariel said she now accepts the death of Margaux as suicide.
Her remains were cremated and buried in the Hemingway family plot in the Ketchum Cemetery in Idaho.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Monarchs ought to put to death the authors and instigators of war, as their sworn enemies and as dangers to their states.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“The dignity to be sought in death is the appreciation by others of what one has been in life,... that proceeds from a life well lived and from the acceptance of one’s own death as a necessary process of nature.... It is also the recognition that the real event taking place at the end of our life is our death, not the attempts to prevent it.”
—Sherwin B. Nuland (b. 1930)
