On July 13, 1954, she passed away at the house she grew up in (La Casa Azul). The official cause of death was said to be brought upon by a pulmonary embolism, but it is still surrounded by controversy because an autopsy was never performed. Some have speculated that her death was caused by heart failure due to an overdose on pain killers. She was a strong woman regardless of her shortcomings in life and she surely was not afraid of death. In her last days, she fearlessly quoted in her diary: “I hope the exit is joyful and I hope never to return”. Her death is her “rebirth” and also a chance to escape all the pain she has ever been through by resting in peace. The legacy that Frida Kahlo left behind cannot be underestimated or underplayed.
