At 1 am on December 5 he died suddenly and unexpectedly. His corpse was consecrated in a cheap coffin and brought to the St. Marx Cemetery outside Vienna without any funeral cortege. Only the undertaker kept him company as the corpse, covered in a linen cloth, was lowered into a simple grave with five other deceased. The exact spot remains unknown. A monument, erected many years after his death at St. Marx Cemetery, commemorates the great composer and musician.
