Kjell Rasten died by [[suicide]] on February 18, 2019, at the age of 78. Charo publicly stated: <blockquote>In recent years, his health began to decline and he developed a rare and horrible skin disease called [[bullous pemphigoid]]. He also became very depressed. That, along with the many medications he needed to take, became too much for him, and he ended his suffering.<ref name=People/></blockquote>
