He died on 6 August 2006 of massive organ failure a few days after being imprisoned in Klong Prem Central Prison in Bangkok on charges of suspicion of illegally altering a visa. His health had been weakened from a weight-loss regimen at a Thai wellness center.[3][4]

Before his death, he resided in Honolulu, Hawaii, also in Paris and Geneva, but was a citizen of Liechtenstein.[4]
