Shkot began to suffer from a serious illness in 1870, returning to Saint Petersburg where he died on September 1, and was buried in Krasnenkoye Cemetery. Several sites in southern Primorsky Krai were named in honor of Shkot, including Shkot Island in the Eugénie Archipelago, the town of Shkotovo, the Shkotovka River, and a cape in Olga Bay.
