Stanisław was still alive when his great-great-granddaughter, [[Archduchess Maria Theresia of Austria (1762–1770)|Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria]], was born in 1762. In his last years, his close friend, the Hungarian-born Marshal of France [[Ladislas Ignace de Bercheny]] lived on his estate to provide company.

Leszczyński died aged 88 in 1766 as a result of serious burns&nbsp;– his silk attire had caught fire from a spark while the King was asleep near the fireplace in his [[Château de Lunéville|palace in]] [[Lunéville]] on 5 February. He was medically treated for several days but died of wounds on 23 February. He was the longest living Polish king.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.szkolnictwo.pl/szukaj,Stanis%C5%82aw_Leszczy%C5%84ski|title=Stanisław Leszczyński - Szkolnictwo.pl|website=www.szkolnictwo.pl|access-date=April 11, 2019}}</ref>
