Bruno Caruso died on 4 November 2018 at the Regina Margherita hospice in Rome.
He was 91 years old.
Days before his death his son, Roberto Caruso, gave him a pencil and paper and, despite having refused to work for almost two years, he completed one final drawing; a melted, disfigured face (see image).

 
Leoluca Orlando, the Mayor of Palermo, paid tribute to Caruso's career saying;
"The death of Bruno Caruso marks the disappearance of one of the most sensitive and committed figures in the artistic and cultural panorama of our city.
A man whose unmistakable style always highlighted social issues, and gave voice to those who needed it most, right up until the last."
