Vandross had diabetes,[3] a disease that ran in his family, as well as
hypertension. On April 16, 2003, just 4 days before his 52nd birthday,
Vandross suffered a stroke in his home in Manhattan.[3] Though the cause of
Vandross' stroke was not specifically attributed to diabetes, diabetics have
been identified as being much more susceptible to strokes than
non-diabetics.

He appeared briefly on videotape at the 2004 Grammys to accept his Song of
the Year award, where he said, "Whenever I say goodbye it's never for long
because I believe in the power of love".[3] Other than an appearance on The
Oprah Winfrey Show, he was never seen in public again. Vandross died on July
1, 2005 at John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey at the age
of 54.[6] The cause of his death was never publicly released.
