He resigned in 1922 to accept a position with the Biological Survey. On August 8, 1927, he was employed as a carpenter's helper and working on Florida Reef Beacons, when he fell twenty feet from the piledriver to the deck of a barge, striking his head and back on the construction materials and equipment on deck. He was given first aid but died about two hours later while en route to Key West.
