Mao Zedong - Death

Time: Thursday Sep 9, 1976

Place: Beijing, China

Details: Mao suffered two major heart attacks in 1976, one in March and another in July, before a third struck on September 5, rendering him an invalid. Mao Zedong died nearly four days later just after midnight, at 00:10, on September 9, 1976, at age 82.
