Ebert suffered from gallstones and frequent bouts of cholecystitis. He became acutely ill in mid-February 1925, from what was believed to be influenza.

His condition deteriorated over the following two weeks, and at that time he was thought to be suffering from another episode of gallbladder disease.

He became acutely septic on the night of 23 February, and underwent an emergency appendectomy (which was performed by August Bier) in the early hours of the following day for what turned out to be appendicitis.

He died of septic shock four days later, at 54 years of age.
