His plan failed, and he was imprisoned until 1963, after Diem's assassination. The coup plotters released him and reinstated his rank.

In 1965, he was shot down during a bombing raid over North Vietnam. The popular songwriter Phạm Duy wrote a song to eulogize him, named "Huyền Sử Ca Một Người Mang Tên Quốc" ("Epic of a Man Named Quốc").
