I believe he was killed by friendly fire while while flying an F6F Hellcat during a night attack on Japanese bombers.

I am currently reading the 1962 book "The Big E" about the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier CV-6. Incredible accounts of the battles the E participated in and very well written. Available through Amazon. (I'm reading my dad's 1962 hardbound second edition.)
