Freddie Asked to be Buried in an Unknown Location
The world looked up to Freddie as their role model. But when he realized that he had AIDS, he started looking down at himself, and this affected his self-esteem. He was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987 after his health starting failing.

His funeral was open to the public and was first buried in Kensal Green Cemetery, but later his ashes were relocated by Mary Austin to an unknown location as per his wishes.
