He bought a holiday home in Sosa, Dominican Republic, where he spent the majority of his time between his appearances. Rose was single and had no immediate family or permanent partner. According to reports, he wished to have an heir. He took in a 14-year-old boy who he benefited financially and to whom he wanted to leave his estate shortly after moving. In January 1988, the boy was adopted by a foster father.
Rose was tortured and beaten to death by his adopted son, the boy's biological father, an uncle, and a friend of the father on May 5, 1988.
