Very sadly, it was these pictures that Fuertes was carrying when he met with his untimely death in 1927. Upon his return from Ethiopia, Fuertes had visited the curator of the American Museum of Natural History at Tannersville, New York. Returning from the meeting, his car was hit by a train at a railroad crossing near Undilla, New York and he was killed. A load of hay had concealed the oncoming train.His wife was seriously injured but survived. All the paintings he carried survived undamaged and were published posthumously by the Field Museum of Natural History.
