He died somewhat suddenly at Langdale, Strathnaver. The History of the Frasers, known as the Wardlaw MS., states that his death was caused by a high fever brought on by excessive drinking, but the truth of the tale is discounted by the assertion that his death took place in very brief space after his marriage, whereas he and his wife were married for some years before his death. Also it is said that his ' young widow wept out her eyes and lived desolate and disconsolate all her days, whereas about March 1676 she married Hugh Mackay, second of Strathy, with issue two sons.
