Impatient, the Prince, according to his version of the affair, got hold of a revolver: " 'Where shall I shoot him,' I thought. 'Through the temple or through the heart.'" It was through the heart.
But even then Rasputin did not die. Alarmed and amazed, Prince Yussupov called in the other conspirators. Entering the room they saw the monk crawling across the floor "bellowing and snorting like a wounded animal." Several more shots were fired and the body of the monk was tossed over the bridge, as planned.
