Walt Disney's Death

Flora Disney died of carbon monoxide poisoning from the defective heater. A lid on the air intake had slipped, recirculating the exhaust into the house. It may have been the most shattering moment of Walt Disney's life. Though he seldom exhibited emotion outside the studio, he was inconsolable. When years later Sharon asked him where her grandparents were buried, Walt snapped, I don't want to talk about it.
