Ace Frehley's Final Resting Place Revealed

The final resting place of KISS guitarist Ace Frehley, who passed away at 74, has been revealed approximately one month after his death. Frehley died on October 16 from blunt force trauma to the head, incurred after a fall. His resting place is a cemetery in New York City, confirmed by the publication of his tombstone, which simply reads 'Paul "Ace" Frehley 1951-2025.'

The legendary musician, known for his Spaceman persona in KISS, had been on life support before his family made the decision to remove him. Frehley co-founded KISS in 1973, leaving the band in 1982 and later forming Frehley's Comet. He was honored with a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2014.

Weeks before his passing, Frehley had collapsed at his home studio. He had expressed optimism about his longevity in a March 2025 interview, citing his family's history of long life and a psychic's prediction of him living to 100. Frehley died in Morristown, New Jersey.
