Wood died of a heart attack at his home in March 1958. He was given a state funeral, the first time it was accorded to an opposition leader. The funeral service was packed (Wood had been an exceptionally popular parliamentarian, esteemed even by his political opponents) and hundreds of people stood outside the church to pay their respects. There were 140 cars in the funeral cortege as it made its way to the Drayton and Toowoomba Cemetery for his burial.
In 1957, the Labor Party split with Premier Vince Gair and most of his Cabinet being expelled from the party. This left Jack Duggan as the new Labor leader but Gair lost supply and an election was called for 3 August 1957.
