After he was shot on July 2, 1881, he survived until September 19, 1881, becoming increasingly ill. On September 6, 1881, he was moved to a beach house in Long Branch, NJ on the Atlantic coast, living in the Franklyn cottage there, attended by several physicians.

He died of a heart attack brought on by several conditions including a ruptured aneurysm, bronchial pneumonia, and blood poisoning. The bullet that killed him was only found when an autopsy was performed.
