Shortly before he started his office in parliament and shortly after his interview for the weekly newspaper Globus , he died in a car accident in Zagreb . He was buried in the Mirogoj cemetery in Zagreb .

One of his greatest successes is the song Večeras je naša fešta , which became the unofficial regional anthem of Dalmatia. This song is sung on various ceremonial occasions and sporting achievements.
