On the night of 10–11 March 1946, Karl Haushofer and his wife committed suicide in a secluded hollow on their Hartschimmelhof estate at [[Pähl]]/Ammersee. Both drank [[arsenic]] and his wife then hanged herself from a tree branch.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,888139,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101129210828/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,888139,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=29 November 2010 |title=Germany: Haushofer's Heritage |newspaper=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|date=25 March 1946 |access-date=2012-09-09}}</ref><ref>Walsh, Edmund A.

Haushofer left a detailed map to help his son, Heinz, find the bodies. In a suicide note, he declared that he wanted "no form of state or church funeral, no obituary, epitaph, or identification of my grave... I want to be forgotten and forgotten."<ref>Holger Herwig, "THE DAEMON OF GEOPOLITICS: KARL HAUSHOFER, RUDOLF HESS AND ADOLF HITLER," lecture at the United States Air Force academy, 2016, Page 1.</ref>

Fr. Walsh visited their graves and wrote in his diary, "I could not help but think of the deep tragedy of this death by night, alone, in a lonely gulley, of the last of the geopoliticians! What an inscrutable destiny, that after 19 [years of] teaching and warning [the] U.S.A. about the teachings of Haushofer, I should today be kneeling over his suicide's body in one of the loneliest spots in Bavaria!"<ref>Patrick McNamara (2005), ''A Catholic Cold War: Edmund A.
