 Well, on Route 116, North Salem Road between Ridgeberry and Ridgefield, Worcester came up too close to the retreating British soldiers. He came around a corner and they were right there. Before Worcester could escape, he was shot. He was carried back to the Dibble House on South Street, the same house where Tryon had set up his headquarters. He died just a few days later on May 2nd at the age of 66.
