In the book, didn't Sobel (the real one) commit suicide around 1950?

I had heard he committed suicide.

"...Shortly thereafter Captain Sobel shot himself. He botched it.
Eventually he died in September 1988. His funeral was a sad affair.
His ex-wife did not come to it, nor did his sons, nor did any member of
E Company."
