==Death and tributes== On 7 March 2006, Profumo suffered a [[stroke]] and was admitted to London's [[Chelsea and Westminster Hospital]]. He died two days later surrounded by his family, at the age of 91. After his death, many commentators said that he should be remembered as much for his contribution to society after his fall from political grace as for the scandal of 1963 which caused that fall. He was cremated at [[Mortlake Crematorium]]; his ashes were buried next to those of his wife at the family vault in front of St Peter's Church in [[Hersham]].<ref name="Kew Soc">{{cite journal|url=http://www.kewsociety.org/sites/kewsociety.org/files/2006_spring.pdf |title=Mortlake Crematorium |journal=On Kew |date=Spring 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131212113539/http://www.kewsociety.org/sites/kewsociety.org/files/2006_spring.pdf |archive-date=12 December 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3655083/Even-if-the-heart-bleeds-almost-to-death-passionate-love-is-worth-it.html |title=Even if the heart bleeds almost to death, passionate love is worth it |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|location=London |access-date=28 May 2013 |archive-date=25 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130625081722/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3655083/Even-if-the-heart-bleeds-almost-to-death-passionate-love-is-worth-it.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
