Just found the details on Wiki,
"In 1984, Rose purchased a vacation home in Sosua, Dominican Republic, where he spent much of his time between his performances. Rose was gay and, as such, was a life long bachelor, having no immediate family or permanent partner; but he had longed to have a child and heir. Shortly after relocating, he took in a 14 year old boy whom he supported financially and to whom he planned to leave his estate. He adopted the boy in January 1988.[2]
During a two week vacation during his national tour of Drood, on May 5, 1988, Rose was beaten to death near his vacation home by his adopted son and three other men, including the son's biological father and uncle, who then tried to make the death look like an accident. Each of his assailants soon confessed to killing Rose.[2] Though all four men were charged and spent time in prison, no trial was ever held, and eventually all were released.[1]
Rose is buried in an unmarked grave in an unkept cemetery near his home in Sosua.["
