He died in Shand ,Sask from food poisoning (officially) , My mother felt he died from an overdose of Sulfer. He was afraid of getting the flu, so he burnt sulfer on the stove as well as ingested it , somehow, She said his urine was blue, so I would tend to concur with her theory. He is buried here in Souris, along with his wife, Tossie my mother and James Rainey his father-in-law."22
