I think it must have been an illness that his mother was informed about. Why else would she arrive just 2 days before he died? Or, perhaps he'd been badly injured?

There's this on Ancestry but the original is in Spanish, I can't read it but I think I see the word poliomelitis.

Such a shame if it was actually polio that killed him. We had the Salk vaccine at that time.
