What happened to his character? He love?

I mean live?

He's still alive. At the end of the film we see recent documentary footage of Howell. He cries when he talks about the irony of being saved by the guy he desperately wanted kicked out of his unit.

I thought that was the captain at the end. Captain Glover? Doss saved Glover's life too, although that is not depicted in the film. However, I'm not certain he saved Sgt Howell in the way depicted. :) I'm not certain of what happened to Howell.

Yes I'm confused now. I think you are correct re Captain Glover. I'm going to watch the documentary again.

History vs. Hollywood doesn't provide the fate of the real Sergeant Howell.

Vince Vaughn has said in interviews that his character was a combination of several real people. For example, Desmond Doss used a rifle and blanket to make a stretcher during the Battle of Leyte, not Okinawa.
