John McDouall Stuart died on 5 June 1866 in London and was buried at Kensal Green. Seven people ‚ two from the Geographic Society, four relatives and Alexander Hay, after whom Stuart named Mount Hay in Central Australia ‚ attended his funeral.

Stuart's death certificate said that the cause of death was "softening and degeneration of the brain with a final cerebral haemorrhage". The softening and degeneration of the brain is indicative of dementia, and it is possible that Stuart suffered atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries usually associated with smoking but possibly related to his prolonged vitamin deficiency).

Stuart's headstone in Kensal Green Cemetery in England was erected by his sister, Mary Turnbull. The last line of the inscription implies that Mrs Turnbull felt it necessary to inform the public that her brother was not buried or paid any tribute by the governments of South Australia or England.
