== Death ==
Stone died in Hancock Park, Los Angeles on September 12, 1953, aged 73.<ref name=VarObit /> He reportedly suffered a heart attack while chasing away some neighborhood kids<ref name=VarObit /> who were throwing rocks at his garage or trampling his meticulously kept prized garden. Another published report states that on that date Stone and his third wife were watching television when they heard a racket in the back yard. When he investigated, Stone found lawn furniture once again floating in the pool and glimpsed three or perhaps four teenage boys running toward the street. Stone gave chase despite his wife's warning not to exert himself. Upon reaching the sidewalk, Stone suddenly collapsed. A gardener, Juan Vergara, witnessed the chase and summoned aid.

A photo published in newspapers of the day showed Stone lying on the sidewalk immediately after the incident. The photo was later included in [[Kenneth Anger]]'s book of scandals titled ''[[Hollywood Babylon]]''.

Lewis Stone was later honored with a star on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]] at 6524 Hollywood Blvd.
