It’s easy to think of famous people as being immortal, but in reality, behind all the fame and glamor, they are just as human as the rest of us.

They might live in a different world compared to most, but when the time comes, they end up in the same place as everyone else.

Below we have listed the last photo of four most famous individuals that ever lived.

On April 18, 1955, at the age of 76, Albert Einstein, the bright thinker who transformed our knowledge of the cosmos, passed away from heart failure.

His funeral and cremation were kept intimately private, witnessed by only a chosen few.

Ralph Morse, the photographer from Life Magazine, managed to capture the essence of that extraordinary day, armed not just with his camera but also with a case of scotch to navigate closed doors and loosen guarded tongues.
