He left on July 22, 1944 for the Saint-Malo region to carry out a mission, but did not return home. However, a letter signed by him, which had fallen from a German truck, was found in Plessala (Côtes-du-Nord). Andrée Grivillers then returned to Paris with her son, fearing arrest. When the mass grave of Butte Rouge was discovered in Hermitage-Lorge, near Uzel, on November 7, 1944, Bertrand Collery recognized his friend in one of the horrible pits that made up the mass grave of Uzel.
