The body of the [[hieromartyr]] was found pierced by two bullet wounds and three stab wounds. He was carried into the lavra's Church of St. Michael, where he had spent his last days at prayer.
The [[All-Russian Church Council of 1917-1918|All-Russian Church Council]] was in session when word came to Moscow of Metropolitan Vladimir's death. A memorial service for the New Martyr Vladimir was performed by Patriarch Tikhon. An investigatory commission was formed to look into the circumstances of Metropolitan Vladimir's murder, but it was unable to carry out its duties because of the revolution. The council decided that the Sunday nearest to [[January 25]](o.s.) / [[February 7]] (n.s.), the day of his [[Martyr|martyrdom]], would be set aside for the annual commemoration of all of the [[New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia's martyrs and confessors ]], killed by the Soviets.
