Outbreaks of violence continue throughout Afghanistan, and the British, beset by harsh winters and intractable tribal opposition, eventually find their position untenable.

Macnaghten tries to save the situation by negotiating with the Afghan chiefs and, independently of them, with Dost Mohammad's son, Akbar Khan, by whom he is captured and, on December 23, 1841, assassinated by Khan placing a pistol in Macnaghten's mouth.
