Virchow broke his thigh bone on 4 January 1902, jumping off a running streetcar while exiting the electric tramway. Although he anticipated full recovery, the fractured femur never healed, and restricted his physical activity. His health gradually deteriorated and he died of heart failure after eight months, on 5 September 1902, in Berlin, a month before his 81st birthday. <ref name=weisenberg/><ref>{{cite news |title=Prof. Virchow is Dead.
