Bing Crosby age: How old was Bing Crosby when he died?

American singer and actor Harry Lillis “Bing” Crosby Jr. died on October 14, 1977 at the La Moraleja Golf Course near Madrid at age 74.

Crosby flew alone to Spain to play golf and hunt partridge on October 13, 1977.

On October 14, at the La Moraleja Golf Course near Madrid, Crosby played 18 holes of golf.

His partner was World Cup champion Manuel Piñero; their opponents were club president César de Zulueta and Valentín Barrios.

Crosby was in good spirits throughout the day, according to Barrios, and was photographed several times during the round.

Crosby, who had a handicap of 13, won by one stroke with his partner.

Crosby said around 6:30 p.m., as he and his party were returning to the clubhouse, “That was a fantastic round of golf, fellas. Let’s go get some Coca-Cola.” This was his final statement.

Crosby collapsed and died instantly from a massive heart attack about 20 yards (18 m) from the clubhouse entrance.

House physician Dr. Laiseca tried to revive him at the clubhouse and later in the ambulance but was unsuccessful.

Crosby was laid to rest at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California, on October 18, 1977, following a private funeral Mass at St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Westwood.
