The funeral procession on Maria-Theresien-Strasse

Ghezze was seriously injured in the head in a brawl in front of the Breinössl inn . The Innsbruck police took the unconscious man to a sobering cell. The misunderstanding only cleared up on the following day and the seriously injured man was taken to the hospital . However, the cerebral haemorrhage was so severe that Ghezze died on November 6, 1912.

About 10,000 people attended or flanked the streets at his funeral, which took place on November 9th. The rector and the deans of the theological and medical faculties, as well as high personalities of the country and the city attended the funeral.

According to a report of Czernowitz Allgemeine Zeitung , the three days after Ghezzes death appeared, seven members of the were fraternity Corps Gothia arrested. During the investigation into the perpetrator responsible for the fatal blow, a total of 14 students were arrested, but all of them were released for lack of evidence. At the beginning of 1913 the investigation was discontinued without any result.

Max Ghezse's death was one of the climaxes of the conflict between incisive and denominational ties, fueled by the Wahrmund affair, before the First World War. There were repeated clashes and some fatal incidents.
