Nico died on July 18, 1988 at 8:00 pm of a cerebral brain hemorrhage at the Cannes Nisto Hospital in Ibiza. She was taken to the hospital after being found lying unconscious by the side of her bicycle. On August 16, 1988, her ashes were buried in her mother's grave in a small cemetery in the Grunewald Forest in Berlin while a few friends played music from her album Desertshore on a cassette recorder.
