He died at Walter Reid Hospital, Washington, D.C. after undergoing an operation. There are some who say he died of alcoholism and though from all stories, passed down, he was an alcoholic the attached letter from the VA shows that he did not die from alcoholism but rather a perforation of the stomach lining which lead to surgery in which he did not survive.
His body was brought back to Hibbing for burial.
