She comes to the cathedral of Notre Dame. She then pounds on the door to try and claim sanctuary, but no one answers. Frollo catches up with her and takes what she was carrying, knocking her down with a steel boot into the stone steps of Notre Dame, killing her.

The Archdeacon then takes her body and gives her a proper burial.
