On April 4, 1959, Wright was hospitalized for abdominal pains and was operated upon. Wright seemed to be recovering but he died quietly on April 9 at the age of 91 years. ''The New York Times'' then reported he was 89.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1959/04/10/archives/frank-lloyd-wright-dies-famed-architect-was-89-leader-in-modern-u-s.html |title=Frank Lloyd Wright Dies; Famed Architect Was 89|work=[[The New York Times]] |date=April 10, 1959 |access-date=April 17, 2022}}</ref><ref>Huxtable, p. 245</ref>

After his death, Wright's legacy was engulfed in turmoil for years. His third wife Olgivanna's dying wish had been that she, Wright, and her daughter by her first marriage would all be cremated and interred together in a memorial garden being built at [[Taliesin West]]. According to his own wishes, Wright's body had lain in the Lloyd-Jones cemetery, next to the Unity Chapel, within view of Taliesin in Wisconsin. Although Olgivanna had taken no legal steps to move Wright's remains (and against the wishes of other family members and the Wisconsin legislature), his remains were removed from his grave in 1985 by members of the Taliesin Fellowship. They were cremated and sent to Scottsdale where they were later interred as per Olgivanna's instructions. The original grave site in Wisconsin is now empty but is still marked with Wright's name.<ref>Secrest, p. 213</ref>
