"From 1772 he had to defend his actions against critics in Britain, who were numerous, vocal and rightly suspicious of his vast wealth. Despite his vindication in Parliament, on 22 November 1774 he committed suicide by stabbing himself with a pen-knife, at his Berkeley Square home in London. His suicide has been understood in relation to the history of depression in his life as well as his addiction to opium. But the likely immediate impetus was excruciating pain resulting from illness which Clive attempted to abate with opium."

He committed suicide this was blamed mainly on pressures the Parliment had issued on him.
