Man o' War was retired from stud in 1943 after suffering a heart attack.<ref name=ACP /> He died on November 1, 1947, at age 30 of another apparent heart attack, a short time after Harbut died. His funeral was broadcast live on [[NBC Radio]]. Kentucky horseman Ira Drymon said, "He touched the imagination of men and they saw different things in him. But one thing they will all remember was that he brought exaltation into their hearts."<ref name=Livingston2017 /> An editorial in ''The New York Times'' stated: <blockquote>"No other horse ever won such fame as Man o' War. None was more beautiful, with lovelier lines of grace and power. None was more beloved by an admiring and faithful public. Few have lived so long. The American scene seems a little vacant with Man o' War gone to the Elysian Fields where all good horses go."<ref>{{cite web|title=MAN O' WAR|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1947/11/03/archives/man-o-war.html|website=The New York Times|access-date= March 29, 2017|date=November 3, 1947}}</ref></blockquote>
