10/19/1937 AD died
For some time before his death, Rutherford had a small hernia, which he had neglected to have fixed, and it became strangulated, causing him to be violently ill. Despite an emergency operation in London, he died four days afterwards of what physicians termed "intestinal paralysis", at Cambridge.
After cremation at Golders Green Crematorium, he was given the high honor of burial in Westminster Abbey, near Isaac Newton and other illustrious British scientists.
