His death (Wikipedia)
Poe was admitted to Saint Luke's Medical Center in Quezon City on the eve of December 11, 2004, after complaining of dizziness at a gathering in his production studio premise. He suffered from a stroke and slipped into a coma while being treated for a brain clot. Doctors described his condition as a cerebral thrombosis with multiple organ failure. Movie fans across the country held a vigil around the hospital after news of Poe's sickness came out. He died at the age of 65 on December 14 at 12:01 am, without regaining consciousness. Friends and allies from the movie and political worlds were at his bedside. He left behind his wife actress Susan Roces and daughter, Mary Grace, and also his illegitimate son, Ronian, or Ron Allan.
His 9 day wake was attended by at least 2,000,000 people (according to FPJ Wake Coordinating Council [5]), although some estimates ranged from as low as 30,000 to as high as 3,000,000 people, many of whom travelled for days and waited for hours in line for a glimpse. His funeral procession drew tens of thousands who crowded the streets of Quezon City to pay their last respects. He is buried in his family plot along with his father and mother in North Cemetery, Manila, Philippines.
