In the morning of September 20, 1903, she was murdered along with one of her housemaids in the luxury guest house Villa Solms in Aix-les-Bains, a fashionable water cure with a casino at the time.
The crime was supposedly committed by thieves who wanted to obtain her jewelry.
A female servant was also murdered, and another was "so maltreated that she had lost her reason".

Police investigations revealed that the suffering female servant, Victorine Giriat, in fact organised the murder with one Henri Bassot, who acted as the mastermind.
