To forgot hunger and stress, he kept himself warm by smoking cigarette butts he picked up in the streets. Sometime in the early months of 1896, however, del Pilar and Ponce finally decided to return to Hong Kong to join other Filipinos but on his way home, he contracted tuberculosis. After several months of illness, he died in a public hospital in Barcelona, Spain, on July 4, 1896 at the age of 45 run by the Sisters of Charity. The following day, he was buried in unmarked grave at the Cementerio del Sud-Oeste in Barcelona.
