Ellis would die of x-ray burns. Not sure if it was at the hospital in the early days of x-ray technology while receiving an x-ray for an injury as a carpenter or from some other source. Although I don't know what other source a carpenter at that time would have been exposed to.
He is buried in Memphis.
