He was killed in action on Iwo Jima after having been shot by a Japanese sniper on 21 March, 1945, about a month after the famous photograph was captured. He was only 19 years of age. His body was first interred on Iwo Jima, but was later returned home for his final interment on May 8, 1947, in Elizaville Cemetery.
