The Mystery of Susano Palomares

Antonia also had a son named Susano, who died (family stories say) as he attempted to walk home (to Texas) from California. The story was that he had been sent money to come home but spent it. So he tried to walk. 

Death Index records list his place of death is listed as Riverside, CA in 1959. I am trying to get a death certificate to confirm, but that takes weeks.  Even the burial records do not list a cause of death.

What we do know about Susano, is that he was a WWII vet, PFC Battery B, 390th Coast Artillery Batallion.  He had a Bronze Star (for Valor), American Theater Medal, Good Conduct, and European-American-Middle Eastern Campaign medals. Coastal artillery is the branch of the armed forces concerned with operating anti-ship artillery or fixed gun batteries in coastal fortifications.

If anyone knows more information about Susano, or anyone for that matter. Please contact me and let me know so we can get the story straight. Photos and other documents are also appreciated.
