Uncle killed in WW2

[sal4]

My uncle was killed during WW2, his ship collided with another at sea in Nova Scotia, his body was never recovered......Would there be death certificate on file in the County/State in which he lived?.......Sal4

Good question. Have you inquired with the state/county vital records department?

Here are a few references:
