The home sold last June for $7,431,750. In the final years of Capone’s life, he suffered mental and physical deterioration due to late-stage neurosyphilis, which he had contracted in his youth. On January 25, 1947, he died from cardiac arrest after suffering a stroke. Following his death, Capone’s wife, Mae, and son, Al Jr., lived there.
