He refused, stating, "If I am to be killed, let Adolf do it himself."[11] Having heard nothing after the stipulated ten minutes, Eicke and Lippert returned to Röhm's cell to find him standing with his bare chest puffed out in a gesture of defiance, and Lippert shot him in the chest at point-blank range. The bullet hit Röhm in the heart, killing him almost instantly.[12] He was buried in the Westfriedhof ("Western Cemetery") in Munich.
