What Happened to Frank Sinatra?
The music industry lost Sinatra when he passed away on May 14, 1998, in Los Angeles. Per History, the crooner died after suffering a heart attack.
Despite the confirmation of the cause, tabloids created conspiracy theories about his health. They claimed Sinatra probably suffered from other health issues.
For what it's worth, Sinatra faced poor health in the final years of his life. He was diagnosed with heart and breathing problems, bladder cancer, dementia, pneumonia and high blood pressure.
On the other hand, his close friend and manager Tony Oppedisano told the Mirror he witnessed everything before the singer died. Two doctors and medical technicians reportedly surrounded "The Way You Look Tonight" singer while he was in a hospital bed. His wife, Barbara, also told him to fight but eventually delivered his last breath.
History added that Sinatra's final words were, "I'm losing."
His family sent him to his final resting place and included a tombstone that has the words, "The Best is Yet to Come." It was also the last song he sang in public prior to his death.
