Frida Kahlo died on July 13, 1954, in her home at Coyoacán, Mexico. The documented cause was a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot in the lungs. No autopsy was performed, and some historians have consequently questioned the official explanation. A few have pointed out that Kahlo suffered from severe chronic pain, depression, and heavy use of medication in her final years, and may have died from a deliberate or accidental overdose of drugs. There is, however, no definitive evidence for this theory.
