He shot himself in July 1870, aged 53, after the collapse of the Crown Bank, and is buried in a large mausoleum in the graveyard at Kirby Bedon, Norfolk. He was succeeded in the title by his son Charles. His grandson Oliver Harvey became British Ambassador to France and was created Baron Harvey of Tasburgh in 1954. Lady Harvey died in 1874.
