Death
Murray was unable to savor his victory. In the November presidential election, Dwight D. Eisenhower won the presidential election, and Republicans swept to majorities in both houses of Congress. It was another defeat for the CIO PAC.
Philip Murray died in San Francisco on November 9, 1952, of a heart attack. Walter Reuther succeeded him as president of the CIO. David McDonald succeeded him as president of the Steelworkers.
He is buried in Saint Anne's Cemetery in the south suburbs of Pittsburgh (Castle Shannon, PA).
