Ed Koch cause of death: What happened to Ed Koch?
A horde of New York Democrats is demanding that Ed Koch’s name be removed from the Queensboro Bridge after years of singing his praises, according to records and previous statements. Koch, a colorful and witty World War II veteran, was mayor for over a decade.
He is a Democrat who has a soft spot among Republicans and centrists but has long polarized the city’s activist left. Critics claimed he did not act quickly enough to address the AIDS crisis in the 1980s or to combat spiraling crime.
Koch passed away in 2013. He was believed to have died of congestive heart failure at New York-Presbyterian hospital, according to reliable sources.
Where is Ed Koch buried?
Ed Koch was laid to rest at the Trinity Church Cemetery in Hamilton Heights, Upper Manhattan, one of the city’s few active burial grounds.
