On April 8, his motorcycle broke down in Qalat, Afghanistan. After fixing his motorcycle there, he spent the night in a hotel and then continued his journey towards Shahjoy the next day. Near Shahjoy his motorcycle broke down again. He hired a car to take him to Kabul. On the way, the car was stopped by two men on a motorbike. They shot Bartolini but not the driver. No money was reported stolen. Bartolini's body was later taken to the Kabul Military Hospital.
