(March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983)
an American playwright considered among the foremost playwrights
of 20th-century American drama.
On February 25, 1983, Williams was found dead at age 71 in his suite at the Hotel Elysée in New York. The Chief Medical Examiner reported that Williams had choked to death from inhaling the plastic cap of a bottle.
He wrote in his will in 1972: "I, Thomas Lanier (Tennessee) Williams,
being in sound mind upon this subject, and having declared this wish repeatedly to my close friends-do hereby state my desire to be buried at sea.
More specifically, I wish to be buried at sea at as close a possible point as the American poet Hart Crane died by choice in the sea; this would be ascrnatible [sic], this geographic point, by the various books (biographical) upon his life and death.
I wish to be sewn up in a canvas sack and dropped overboard, as stated above,
as close as possible to where Hart Crane was given by himself to the great mother of life which is the sea: the Caribbean, specifically, if that fits the geography of his death.
Otherwise—whereever fits it [sic]."
