This is a bit of a mystery. The recent biography Hävittäjäveljekset (Fighter Brothers) only very briefly discusses his death, maybe by the wish of his brother. I have understood from the book, that he died by his own hand near home. He ran a cinema at Lapinlahti, therefore Siilinjärvi, the neighbouring town, seems to me more likely place of death than Suomusjärvi, which is located near Salo, where he spent his youth.
