Ivan Ryzhov died on the morning of 15 March 2004 in a Moscow hospital. According to his daughter, it happened due to negligence of the medical staff: the actor had fallen and cut his hand. The funeral service took place not in the House of Cinema, as has happened with other famous actors, but in a small temple at Botkin Hospital, where he had died. The memorial was attended by relatives and artists.
He was buried at Perepechinskoe Cemetery.
