==Death==
On July 1, 2004, Brando died of [[respiratory failure]] from [[pulmonary fibrosis]] with [[congestive heart failure]] at the [[UCLA Medical Center]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/02/obit.brando/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071016070001/http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/02/obit.brando/|url-status=dead|title="Marlon Brando dies at 80."

He also suffered from [[diabetes]] and [[liver cancer]].<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://archive.today/20120524121928/http://www.nnp.org/nni/Publications/Dutch-American/brando.html "Brando biography"]}}, New Netherland Institute. Retrieved April 5, 2015.</ref> Shortly before his death and despite needing an [[oxygen mask]] to breathe, he recorded his voice to appear in the video game ''[[The Godfather (2006 video game)|The Godfather]]'', once again as Don Vito Corleone. Brando recorded only one line due to his health and an impersonator was hired to finish his lines. His single recorded line was included within the final game as a tribute to the actor. Some additional lines from his character were directly lifted from [[The Godfather|the film]]. [[Karl Malden]]—Brando's co-star in three films (''[[A Streetcar Named Desire (1951 film)|A Streetcar Named Desire]]'', ''[[On the Waterfront]]'', and ''[[One-Eyed Jacks]]'')—spoke in a documentary accompanying the DVD of ''A Streetcar Named Desire'' about a phone call he received from Brando shortly before Brando's death. A distressed Brando told Malden he kept falling over. Malden wanted to come over, but Brando put him off, telling him there was no point. Three weeks later, Brando was dead. Shortly before his death, he had apparently refused permission for tubes carrying oxygen to be inserted into his lungs, which, he was told, was the only way to prolong his life.{{sfn|Sellers|2010}}

Brando was cremated and his ashes were put in with those of [[Wally Cox]].<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-oct-17-ca-brando17-story.html "When the wild one met the mild one."]  ''Los Angeles Times'', October 17, 2004.</ref> They were then scattered partly in [[Tahiti]] and partly in [[Death Valley]].<ref>Porter, Dawn.
