Wagner died due to a heart attack at Ca'Vendramin Calergi, a palazzo on the Grand Canal in Venice. It is said that it was prompted by an argument over his love interest in the singer Carrie Pringle. His body was carried over the Grand Canal on a funerary gondola and then taken to Villa Wahnfried in Germany, where he is buried.
