Monroe suffered a stroke in April 1996, effectively ending his touring and playing career. He died on September 9, 1996. Presumably from complications from the stroke, though some say it was from his inability to perform. "Music was his life" and without that, his health deteriorated...or so they say.
This question could be open for much debate. If you are looking at "bluegrass" music, then it is undeniably Bill Monroe. Sometimes the argument arises that the instruments used in Bluegrass where around before Monroe, but it was indeed Bill Monroe that took those instruments and combined them into the core group of instruments that are still used in Bluegrass today. Monroe experimented with several combinations of instruments, even the accordion, before settling with mandolin, bass, guitar, banjo and fiddle.
