Although Chanel was viewed as a prominent figure of luxury fashion during her life, Chanel's influence has been examined further post death in 1971. She continued to spend her final years in luxury evermore at her magnificent Ritz apartment. When Chanel died, the first lady of France, Mme, Pompidou organized a hero's tribute.

Chanel (dog)
Chanel died from natural causes on August 28, 2009, at her home in Port Jefferson Station, New York, at the age of 21. Chanel was cremated after her death. It was mistakenly reported by Sky News that Chanel had died in January 2010, they had in fact mixed her up with the dog that was recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest dog after her death, Otto. This caused other news websites to repeat the error, including Shortnews.com.
