This page presents the precise time of death for various celebrities. If you require additional in-depth biographical data, many of the entries below offer a link to a detailed biographical profile of that individual. Pursuant to our work here at Internet Accuracy Project, most of the profiles also contain error corrections for some of the most common errors you'll find in reference books and on the Web.

NOTE: All times of death reported on this page are from the local time zone where the death actually occurred.

Note that we never round off times of death and always report them as they appear on death certificates, or were reported by the hospital, family members or other officials. Even so, the "official" time of death that appears on death certificates is usually the time that the local coroner confirmed the death for himself/herself. This is almost always several minutes, hours, or in rare cases, days after the death actually occurred. In cases where the precise time of death and the "official" time of death differ, we try to offer both, along with an explanation.
