He and his crew were killed when their S-3 Viking:

The Navy Friday said the jet impacted Kita Iwo Jima, an uninhabited 2.4-square-mile island, Tuesday evening. A mishap investigation into the cause of the incident is being conducted.

Kita Iwo Jima is the top of a volcano that juts 2,520 feet above the Pacific Ocean. It has sheer sides with no beach. It lies about 620 miles south of Japan and 42 miles north of Iwo Jima, the scene of fierce fighting between American and Japanese troops during World War II.
