Brock, opposing the invading enemy, fell in action near the heights on 13 October 1812, aged forty-three, during the battle he is best remembered for alongside Detroit.

Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, who had been responsible for defending Upper Canada against American invasion since 1811, fell in action near the heights on 13 October 1812, in the forty-third year of his age, while opposing the invading enemy. His death at Queenston Heights, together with his victory at the siege of Detroit, remains what he is best remembered for. News of his Detroit victory had reached the United Kingdom in early October 1812 and was published in the London Gazette on 6 October 1812, days before his death; the knighthood news would not reach Upper Canada until after he was killed.
