Despite this, it was said that Li Yong was still unable to change his ways. On November 6, he died suddenly — a death that many historians, including the modern historian Bo Yang, believed, based on subsequent events, to have been an assassination by his attendants, at the implicit approval of Emperor Wenzong. He was buried with honors due a crown prince and given the posthumous name of "Zhuangke" (meaning "unsuccessful and respectful").
