Cocke returned to plantation home Belmead after 8 months of service, reportedly "shattered in body and mind." Exhausted from the strain, and despondent over perceived slights from General Beauregard stemming from the Battle of Manassas, Cocke shot himself in the head with his pistol on December 26, 1861, at Belmead in Powhatan County, Virginia. It is a very elegant place, which still stands today.
