Death
Baudin died at Mauritius in 1803 at the age of 49, his death caused by tuberculosis. Apparently, he died in the home of Madame Alexandrine Kerivel. Baudin's exact resting place is not known, but the historian Auguste Toussaint believed that Baudin was interred in the Kerivel family vault. However, the historian Edward Duyker likes to think that Baudin was buried in Le Cimitière de l’Ouest in the district of Port Louis "just a few hundred metres from the explorer’s certain love: the sea".
