After Saga was separated from her, Wanrong died in prison at the age of 39 at 5am, June 20th, 1946 from the effects of malnutrition and opium withdrawal in a pool of her own bodily fluids. Her place of burial is unknown. Some said she was wrapped in a piece of cloth and discarded in the hills north of Yanji while others claimed that she was buried in the south of Yanji, though it is thought she was probably buried to the south. Her remains were never found.
