However, Kronecker never addressed the meeting, since his wife was seriously injured in a climbing accident in the summer and died on 23 August 1891. Kronecker only outlived his wife by a few months, and died in December 1891.
Gayunman, hindi kailanman Kronecker direksiyon ang pagkikita, dahil ang kanyang asawa ay malalang nasugatan sa isang aksidente-akyat sa tag-init at namatay sa 23 Agosto 1891. Kronecker lamang outlived kanyang asawa ng ilang buwan, at namatay sa Disyembre 1891.
