Oberhauser entered hospital in February 2017 for treatment of a ventricular fuse, and announced on 15 February that Alois Stöger would stand in for her during her illness.[2] However, her condition soon deteriorated and she died a week later, on 23 February 2017. She was 53.[1] She was cremated at Feuerhalle Simmering; her ashes are buried in Hietzing Cemetery in Vienna.
