How did Sergey Rachmaninov die?
Rachmaninoff died of melanoma on 28 March 1943, in Beverly Hills, California, just four days before his 70th birthday. A choir sang his All Night Vigil at his funeral. He had wanted to be buried at the Villa Senar, his estate in Switzerland, but the conditions of World War II made fulfilling this request impossible.[22] He was therefore interred on June 1 in Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, New York.
