After the death of his son Geoffrey in 1891, Fred Barnard went into a decline. Although his work was unaffected, his relationship with Alice suffered and at age forty-nine his bedclothes caught fire from the pipe he was smoking, while under the influence of a drug which was probably laudanum. He died of suffocation and his body was badly charred.
