==Death== Krishnamurti died of [[pancreatic cancer]] on 17 February 1986, at the age of 90. The announcement of KFT ([[Krishnamurti Foundation|Krishnamurti Foundation Trust]]) refers to the course of his health condition until the moment of death. The first signs came almost nine months before his death, when he felt very tired. In October 1985, he went from [[Bramdean]], England ([[Brockwood Park|Brockwood Park School]]) to India and after that, he suffered from exhaustion, fevers, and lost weight. Krishnamurti decided to go back to Ojai (10 January 1986) after his last talks in [[Madras, India|Madras]], which necessitated a 24-hour flight. Once he arrived at Ojai he underwent medical tests that revealed he was suffering from pancreatic cancer. The cancer was untreatable, either surgically or otherwise, so Krishnamurti decided to go back to his home at Ojai, where he spent his last days. Friends and professionals nursed him. His mind was clear until the last moment. Krishnamurti died on 17 February 1986, at 10 minutes past midnight, [[Pacific Time Zone|California time]]. In accordance with his wishes, no memorial service was conducted.<ref name=Saxon>{{Cite news|last=Saxon|first=Wolfgang|date=18 February 1986|title=JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI, 90, IS DEAD; RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHER FROM INDIA|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/02/18/obituaries/jiddu-krishnamurti-90-is-dead-religious-philosopher-from-india.html|access-date=21 January 2022|issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Jiddu Krishnamurti |url=http://www.meditativediaries.com/jiddu-krishnamurti/ |date=17 February 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160221032207/http://www.meditativediaries.com/jiddu-krishnamurti/ |archive-date=21 February 2016 |website=meditativediaries.com |url-status=usurped |access-date=18 February 2016 }}</ref> His ashes were divided into three parts: for Ojai, India and England.
