* (Ayn)Rand died of heart failure on March 6, 1982 at her home in New York City,[58] and was interred in the Kensico Cemetery, Valhalla, New York. * - (wikipedia-Ayn Rand)
*I often think that (Rand) is the only one of us whose achieved immortality. I don't mean in the sense of fame and I don't mean that (s)he won't die some day. But (s)he's living it. I think (s)he is what the conception really means. You know how people long to be eternal. But they die with every day that passes. When you meet them, they're not what what you met last. In any given hour, they kill some part of themselves. They change, they deny, they contradict - and they call it growth...
...At the end there's nothing left, nothing unreversed or unbetrayed; as if there had never been any entity, only a succession of adjectives fading in and out on an unformed mass. How do they expect a permanence which they have never held for a single moment? But Howard(AynRand) - one can imagine him(Her) existing forever."
Contrary to Ms. Burns' response Ayn Rand's death was not directly related to smoking; in fact, She is a lung cancer survivor.
Her physical life ended in Her own home on the 6 of March 77AR of heart failure.
Her immortality manifests itself in the fact that we are still talking and writing books about Her. In a passage of The Fountainhead StevenMallory relates Rand's concept of immortality to Dominique. Her fiction explains reality post-mortem

Burns was clear that Rand survived cancer surgery, and died of pneumonia. There's nothing "contrary" to add.
