In what city did Frank Sinatra die in 1998?

Frank Sinatra died in Los Angeles in 1998. He died on the evening of May 14 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, following another heart attack, at the age of 82.

The answer is sometimes confused with places strongly associated with Sinatra, especially Las Vegas and Palm Springs. Las Vegas was central to his Rat Pack-era performances and public image, while he maintained homes and spent substantial time in the Palm Springs area. Neither city was the place of his death.

Sinatra had been in declining health during his final years, with heart and respiratory problems, high blood pressure, pneumonia, and bladder cancer among the reported medical issues. He had made no public appearances after suffering a heart attack in February 1997.

His death in Los Angeles connected him to the city’s long history as an entertainment capital, but his funeral took place nearby in Beverly Hills at the Church of the Good Shepherd on May 20, 1998. Afterward, he was buried in Cathedral City, California, in the Coachella Valley—not in Los Angeles.
