At the same time, [[Antwerp Zoo]] was forced, by feedstuff shortages, to start killing its animals, which deeply affected Bugatti because he had used many of them as subjects for his sculpture. In 1916, at the age of 31, he committed suicide.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bugatti.com/en/tradition/history/the-bugatti-family/rembrandt-bugatti.html|title=Rembrandt Bugatti|accessdate=28 August 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100419050047/http://www.bugatti.com/en/tradition/history/the-bugatti-family/rembrandt-bugatti.html |archive-date=2010-04-19}}</ref><ref>Philipp Demandt & Anke Daemgen: Ausstellungskatalog (''exhibition catalogue'') "Rembrandt Bugatti", [[München]] 2014, p. 38 ff (in German)</ref> He is interred in the Bugatti family plot at the municipal cemetery in [[Dorlisheim]] in the [[Bas-Rhin]] département of the [[Alsace]] region of France.
