De Ruyter was hit by a cannon ball during the Batlle of Agosta. His right leg was shatteredand the front part of his left foot was blown off. His leg was amputated and he seemed to recover initially. After some days, a wound fever arose because the wound had become infected. Michiel de Ruyter died a week later in the bay of Syracuse due to the consequences of it.
