In September 1958, Power and his wife, Deborah, traveled to [[Madrid]] and Valdespartera, [[Spain]], to film the epic ''[[Solomon and Sheba]],'' directed by [[King Vidor]] and costarring [[Gina Lollobrigida]]. Power had already filmed most of his scenes when he was stricken by a massive heart attack while performing a duel with his frequent costar and friend [[George Sanders]]. A chain smoker who smoked three to four packs of cigarettes a day, Power was probably also affected by hereditary heart disease.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Evans |first1=Arthur G. |title=World War II veterans in Hollywood |date=2020 |publisher=[[McFarland & Company]] |location=Jefferson, North Carolina |isbn=9781476677774 |page=133 }}</ref> A doctor diagnosed the cause of Power's death as "fulminant [[angina pectoris]]".<ref>Canales, Luiz (2006).

Power was interred at [[Hollywood Forever Cemetery]] (then known as Hollywood Cemetery) in a military service on {{nowrap|November 21<!--, 1958-->.<ref name=tburhol>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=mrgVAAAAIBAJ&pg=2555%2C496356 |work=Milwaukee Sentinel |agency=Associated Press |title=Tyrone buried in Hollywood |date=November 22, 1958 |page=3, part 1}}</ref>}} [[Henry King (director)|Henry King]] flew over the service; almost 20 years before, Power had flown in King's plane to the set of ''[[Jesse James (1939 film)|Jesse James]]'' in [[Missouri]], Power's first experience with flying. Aviation became an important part of Power's life, both in the U.S. Marines and as a civilian. In the foreword to Dennis Belafonte's ''The Films of Tyrone Power,'' King wrote: "Knowing his love for flying and feeling that I had started it, I flew over his funeral procession and memorial park during his burial, and felt that he was with me."<ref>{{Cite book |last=Belafonte |title=The Films of Tyrone Power |pages=9}}</ref> 

The actor was laid to rest beside a small lake. His grave is marked with a stone in the form of a marble bench containing the masks of comedy and tragedy with the inscription "Good night, sweet prince." At Power's grave, [[Laurence Olivier]] read the poem "[[High Flight]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.qunl.com/rees0008.html |title=Quotations |publisher=Qunl.com |access-date=2012-04-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715140622/http://www.qunl.com/rees0008.html |archive-date=2011-07-15 }}</ref>
