According to US Army casualty listings he was Killed In Action (KIA). I have looked at the WWII Rosters of the Dead, burial file for him at Ancestry and he was temporarily buried at a cemetery in Florence, Italy until the repatriation began around 1948. This tells me that he died somewhere in the European Theater.

In July 2013, the Congressional Gold Medal was awarded, collectively, to the First Special Service Force (FSSF) in recognition of its superior service during World War II. On February 3, 2015 surviving FSSF Veterans were in Washington DC to accept this momentous recognition on behalf of their fellow Forcemen who could not be there.
