Burial was in the bishop's section of the Greek Orthodox Cemetery, Rookwood, Sydney, immediately behind the Greek Orthodox Chapel of St Athanasius. His headstone records his date of repose as 14 January 1999, however, a coronial inquiry found that he died "on or about 16 January 1999, of ischaemic heart disease". Subdeacon Hanna says Sayidna Gibran was found on the morning of Saturday 16 January 1999 by himself and Father Elias both of Saint Nicholas Church Punchbowl. Subdeacon Hanna says there was fresh blood on the floor where he hit his head after passing out. Subdeacon Hanna says it was obvious he had died that morning. ===Difficulties with name=== Bishop Gibran was born in an Arabic speaking country. His name was written in Arabic. There is no standard for translation of Arabic names into the French language or the English language.  Gibran is the English transliteration of the Arabic name. Gabriel is the equivalent English name.  In Australia his surname was usually spelt Ramlawey. This spelling is used on his Australian passport, his NSW death certificate, and his gravestone. His passport and his death certificate are held in the Australian Archdiocesan Archives.
