The fagade still retains the marks of the round shot and bullets with which it was struck on that day.

For a few days Girod escaped arrest and reached Point-aux-Trembles, doubtless with the design of finding his way to Varennes.

The pursuit, however, was so unceasing that on the i8th, the fourth day of his flight, seeing himself so surrounded that he could not avoid seizure by the police, he blew out his brains with the pistol he was carrying.

His body was brought to Montreal.

He was buried at what was then called the Cote a Barren, in the middle of the cross roads of the Saint Lawrence Main street and Sherbrooke street.
