Kerensky died of [[arteriosclerotic heart disease]] at [[Mount Sinai Morningside|St. Luke's Hospital]] in New York City on 11 June 1970, after being initially admitted for injuries sustained from a fall.<ref name="nytimes" /> At 89, he was one of the last surviving major participants in the turbulent events of 1917. The [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia|local Russian Orthodox Church]]es in New York City refused to grant Kerensky burial rites because of his association with [[Freemasonry]], and because they saw him as largely responsible for the Bolsheviks' seizure of power.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Buttar |first1=Prit |title=The Splintered Empires: The Eastern Front 1917–21 |date=2017 |publisher=Bloomsbury |isbn=9781472819864 |page=242 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZFgyDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA242 |access-date=30 March 2024}}</ref> A [[Serbian Orthodox Church]] also refused burial rites.
