In November 1977, McKitka was defeated for re-election by Bill Vogel in the Surrey mayoral election. McKitka left office under a police investigation for misuse of office. He was convicted of breach of trust committed during his mayoral tenure and served time in prison. In 1979, McKitka returned to politics when he was re-elected as a Surrey alderman for a one-year term. Ed McKitka died from injuries sustained in a one vehicle accident in Chilliwack, British Columbia, on February 4, 2014, at the age of 79. He had been driving his truck near the Vedder River Bridge at the time of the accident. Bob Bose, who also served as Mayor from 1988 to 1996, praised McKitka saying, "He was one of the most charismatic persons I've ever known. Incorrigible, but you had to love him." (en)
