Grossouvre allegedly committed suicide, although some, such as Captain Paul Barril, claimed that he had been murdered. He was discovered dead, two bullets in his head, in his office at the Elysée — several hours after the assassination of Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana. Barril, who worked in Rwanda, presented himself in his book Guerres secrètes à l’Élysée (Secret Wars in the Elysée) as an "intime" of Grossouvre. The "hurt friend" of Mitterrand according to Le Monde, Grossouvre voluntarily gave evidence to a judge investigating the case of Roger-Patrice Pelat, a businessman who reportedly financed many of Mitterrand's political campaigns and who was facing charges of insider trading when he died of natural causes in 1989.
