An American prisoner of the Japanese found where he died at the Davao Penal Colony, in the Philippines. He was trying to get a drink of water from a deep sink in the surgical section of the hospital when he died. He was one of 75 victims found at the camp when it was liberated.

  The body of an American soldier captured by the Japanese in the Pacific War was found at the Dapecol POW camp in the Davao penal colony southeast of Mindanao, Philippines, which was liberated in May 1945. He died in a standing position while attempting to drink water from a deep basin in the hospital's surgical operating room. It was a tragic last drink of water for him in his final days. His body was one of 75 victims found when the POW camp in Davao was liberated.

 The body of a captured white American soldier was found at a Japanese POW camp in the Davao penal colony on the Philippine island of Mindanao during World War II. The corpse was taken by the U.S. military at the Davao penal colony on the island of Mindanao. The body was one of 75 bodies found inside the POW camp building at the Davao penal colony. The body of a white American male was presumed to have fallen to his death in a standing position while trying to get a drink from a deep basin in the hospital's surgical operating room.

 Approximately 75 unburied prisoners' bodies of varying degrees of decomposition were discovered at an evacuation center in Davao, Philippines, which was used by the Japanese as a POW camp. In the Pacific War, Japanese forces occupied Davao City on December 20, 1942. During the Philippine campaign in the Pacific War, about 2,000 American soldiers were held in a POW camp in Davao. Approximately 1,200 U.S. soldiers and 16,000 Filipino soldiers died there.

 In the fighting around Davao City from late April to mid-June 1944, the U.S. forces lost about 350 dead and 1,615 wounded. Japanese forces suffered about 4,500 dead and 30 prisoners of war. Heavy fighting also took place elsewhere in the state, with many more soldiers from both armies suffering horrific losses. By the time the Japanese forces withdrew from Davao, they were nearly decimated by the fighting.
