Death
On July 1, 1996, one day before the anniversary of her grandfather's own suicide, Hemingway was found dead in her studio apartment in Santa Monica, at age 42. She had taken an overdose of phenobarbital, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's findings one month later.
Though her death was ruled a suicide, family members disputed this finding. Steve Crisman, Mariel Hemingway's then-husband in 1996, told People that year, "This was the best I'd seen her in years. She had gotten herself back together." On a December 22, 2005, edition of Larry King Live, however, Mariel said she now accepts the death of Margaux as suicide.
Her remains were cremated and buried in the Hemingway family plot in the Ketchum Cemetery in Idaho.

“... probably all of the women in this book are working to make part of the same quilt to keep us from freezing to death in a world that grows harsher and bleaker—where male is the norm and the ideal human being is hard, violent and cold: a macho rock. Every woman who makes of her living something strong and good is sharing bread with us.”
