In retirement Dele was free to live the life he wanted, which included playing saxophone, violin, and trumpet, traveling the world, and flying his own plane. He died in 2002 under mysterious circumstances when his catamaran returned to port in Tahiti without Dele and 2 of his traveling companions. Theories abound as to what actually happened on that boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
