===Retirement=== After resigning his senate seat in 1970, Muñoz Marín temporarily moved to Italy, where one of his daughters, Viviana, had established residence.<ref name="p.86"/> During this time he traveled to various destinations in Europe, including France, Spain and Greece. He returned to Puerto Rico two years later, when he began writing an autobiography.<ref name="p.87">Bernier-Grand et al., p. 87</ref> He promoted the gubernatorial candidacy of the senate's president [[Rafael Hernández Colón]], the new leader of the Popular Democratic Party.<ref name="Malavet" /> Late in his life, Muñoz Marín's health weakened. On January 5, 1976, he suffered a severe stroke, which temporarily affected his ability to move, read and speak.<ref name="p.88">Bernier-Grand et al., p. 88</ref> On April 30, 1980, he died at the age of 82, after suffering complications from a severe fever.<ref name="p.89">Bernier-Grand et al., p. 89</ref> His funeral became an island-wide event, dwarfing his own father's funeral in 1916, and attended by tens of thousands of followers. He was buried at the [[Muñoz Rivera Family Mausoleum]] in [[Barranquitas, Puerto Rico]]<ref name="p.89"/> <!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Munozmarinstamp.jpg|thumb|Luis Muñoz Marín postage stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Service in 1990 {{FFDC|1=Munozmarinstamp.jpg|log=2011 March 13|date=March 2011}}]] -->
