Re: Ship - S. S. Fort Jupiter
I did get a copy of his death certificate and it says his death is due to undetermined causes. My aunt said his sickness with his lungs came and went. He was sick right after he was discharged in Jan. 1946 and stayed in California a little while with his sister. Then when he got back home he went back to work in the ship yards 80 miles away, but would get sick from time to time. Then in August he got sick on a Monday and on Friday he died. My aunt said he was throwing up and coughing something horrible. She said it looked like he was coughing up part of his lungs. It is all so strange! The toxic fumes thing sounds like that might be a possibility. I might never know what actually happened. My aunt said he was the type to keep sickness to himself.
