He was named Palmino because he was born the day before Palm Sunday.
The family called him Jimmy. He was an up and coming boxer.
Jimmy's last boxing match occurred on 4 Apr 1930 at Mechanics Hall, Worchester, Massachusetts, USA. He fought Vernon Cormier. Jimmy lost the fight. Days before the fight he had complained of pain, but did nothing about it. When he left for Worchester, he stated that he was no longer in pain. However, once the fight began it was obvious to those who knew him that there was something very wrong.
According to Jimmy's death certificate, he was injured during a prize fight. The first operation on Jimmy occurred on 7 April 1930 at Strong Hospital in East Boston. He was initially diagnosed with General Peritonitis, which they treated for 5 days, which developed into Gangrenous Appendicitis for 12 days. The doctors performed an unsuccessful jejunostomy (The jejunum is the middle section of the small intestine found between the duodenum and the ileum) on 15 Apr 1930. The word jejunum is used for this section of the small intestine because in dissections it is always found to be empty.
Strangely, his death certificate and grave stone lists his death date as 20 Apr 1930, the day before his death!
