Death
Oates died of a heart attack in Los Angeles, California on April 3, 1982. He was cremated and his ashes scattered at his ranch in Montana.
In 1981, nearly one year before his death, he had co-starred in the TV mini-series The Blue and the Gray, which aired in November 1982. His last two films, filmed back-to-back in the year before his death, Blue Thunder and Tough Enough (both released in 1983), were posthumously dedicated to him. Monte Hellman's film Iguana ends with the titles "For Warren" as a dedication.

“We term sleep a death ... by which we may be literally said to die daily; in fine, so like death, I dare not trust it without my prayers.”
