On 29 January 1919 he was in the Peter and Paul Fortress relocated where it the next day along with his cousins Pavel Alexandrovich Romanov , Nikolai Mikhailovich Romanov and Georgi Mikhailovich Romanov shot was. The bodies of the other three grand dukes were thrown into a mass grave in the fortress; however, the remains of Dmitri Konstantinowitsch were carried away in a carpet by his former adjutant von Leiming the next morning and buried in the garden of a private house in Petrograd, where they are still located today.
