I could have sworn I heard him mumble pert of the Kaddish, "Yisgadal v'yiskadash," duirng his final scene, while he was lying down to go to sleep.

Start watching at 1:28:10 in this You Tube video:

I didn't see the whole movie, so maybe there is some other reference aobut his character being Jewish...

Let me know what you think.

Yes, he did mutter part of the Kaddish.

I took it as foreshadowing his own death.

More likely a Brando embellishment than the script indicating he was Jewish.
