He died as a result of a hunting accident. He was out hunting duck in the marshes at the Kinloch Gun Club, in Georgetown, South Carolina, where he went yearly from his home in Delaware to relax with friends and relatives. A friend accidentally shot a hole in the bottom of the boat they were using, and the boat sank before they could get back to shore. As a result of the exposure to the icy November water, he caught pneumonia and died five days later, the day he had planned to return home.
