Elmyr de Hory, a renowned art forger, met his demise on December 11, 1976, in the confines of his own home. The circumstances surrounding his passing were shrouded in mystery, with some speculating that he had taken an intentional overdose of sleeping pills, resulting in his untimely death.
As the news of his demise spread, whispers began to circulate about the authenticity of his funeral, with some questioning whether he had indeed succumbed to his fate or was merely perpetuating a ruse. Some of his acquaintances even went so far as to believe that Elmyr had orchestrated a fake funeral as a means of evading extradition, although there exists no concrete evidence to support this theory.
It is more likely that Elmyr did indeed take his own life, and his final resting place is on the island he held so dear. Despite his questionable methods, Elmyr will be remembered as one of Ibiza's most illustrious and notorious residents, as well as one of the most skilled art forgers the world has ever known.
