I want to now partly out of morbid curiosity and partly because I like knowing things about Boston history.

I've been Googling it but I'm having difficulty putting what I've found together. I know this much:
The stroke occurred during the August 1998 ACS national meeting in Boston, Ma, in, I believe, the same hotel it was held at. Difficulty is, I can't figure out at which hotel the meeting was.
Anyone with superior Google skills wanna have a go?
Thanks!

Edit: I realize he didn't die at the hotel. I'm looking for the name of the hotel he suffered the stroke at.

According the the New York Times:
Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, leader of the scientific team that created plutonium -- the fuel used in the atomic bomb that destroyed Nagasaki in 1945 -- died on Thursday night (Feb 25) at his home in Lafayette, Calif. Dr. Seaborg, was 86...
This was published in the NY Times February 27, 1999

From the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_T._Seaborg

On August 24, 1998, while in Boston to attend a meeting by the American Chemical Society, Seaborg suffered a stroke, which led to his death six months later on February 25, 1999 at his home in Lafayette., CA

On August 24, 1998, while in Boston to attend a meeting by the American Chemical Society, Seaborg suffered a stroke, which led to his death six months later on February 25, 1999 at his home in Lafayette.

---------------------------

Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, leader of the scientific team that created plutonium -- the fuel used in the atomic bomb that destroyed Nagasaki in 1945 -- died on Thursday night at his home in Lafayette, Calif.
Dr. Seaborg, who was 86, died of complications of a stroke he suffered last August while exercising on a flight of stairs at a scientific meeting in Boston. His longtime collaborator and friend at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, Albert Ghiorso, said that after Dr. Seaborg collapsed, he fell down the stairs and was seriously injured and lying helpless for several hours until he was discovered. He was mostly paralyzed thereafter.

---------------------------

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA mourns the loss of Glenn Seaborg, an illustrious graduate, a dear friend, and an ardent supporter. He passed away at the age of 86 in his home in Lafayette, California

THIS IS MY BEST!!!!!!!!!

The Joint Board Publications and Chemical Abstracts Service Open meeting will start at 4:30 p.m., and Harry's party at 5 p.m. The 50th anniversary reception will take place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on the third floor atrium of the Marriott. The Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) will unveil "A Chronology of Chemical Information Science" at the reception.

THAT'S ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to my research, Glenn T. Seaborg didn't die in a hotel. He died in his house, Lafayette, California. The links are below if you want to make sure.
