He was murdered in December of 1916 by a group of nobles who felt he had too great an influence over Tsarina Alexandra and her husband, Tsar Nicholas II.

They attempted to poison him, but when that had no affect, he was shot four times and beaten before his body was wrapped in a carpet and thrown into the frozen Neva River, where he died from drowning.
