Editing Frank Sturgis (section)

==Later Life and Other Allegations==
Post-Watergate, Sturgis remained a controversial figure. In 1976, he appeared on ABC’s Closeup series, discussing his CIA and Watergate roles, and in 1977, he was interviewed by Bill O’Reilly for WFAA, denying JFK assassination involvement. He testified in the 1980s about Cuban drug smuggling, staying at the Watergate Hotel during Washington visits, a nod to his past. In 2013, José Esteves and Fernando Farinha Simões told a Portuguese parliamentary commission that Sturgis paid $200,000 for a firebomb used in the 1980 Camarate air crash, killing Portuguese Prime Minister Francisco de Sá Carneiro.

Sturgis’s health deteriorated in the 1990s due to lung cancer. Despite pain, he flew to Washington in November 1993 to discuss his latest exploits, per The Washington Post. He died on December 4, 1993, at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Miami, Florida, aged 68, survived by his wife Jan and daughter Autumn. He was buried at Miami Memorial Park Cemetery.
