  In 1805, during the Battle of Austerlitz, which was commanded by Suchet, he had his leg fractured by a shell. He fell and was incapable of getting up until soldiers came to get him. He died of his wounds five days later after this battle, where he had remained at his post with the fractured leg.  His comrades erected a monument for him in the plains of Moravia.  The Emperor Napoleon accomplished his last wishes after his death.  He took charge of the family of the General, and ordered that a monument be erected in his name where he was wounded; that a new square in Paris be given his name; and that a marble statue be erected. Charles X gave the statue to his native city in 1828, and inaugurated in Avranches on September 16, 1832.
  His name is inscribed at the Arc de Triomphe, and on a tables of brass at the Galerie des batailles at the château de Versailles.
