He became ill in February 2003, and had angioplasty surgery. Concerns about his health led to calls for him to step down. However, he continued to serve as prime minister of Dominica until his death, which occurred during a medical leave of absence. Osborne Riviere, who had been acting prime minister during his leave, became prime minister in his stead.
