Details in the FIBIS Fibiwiki page Bengal Army http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Bengal_Army This would probably have full details including when he died. If not, you could try the muster records, tracing him by the regiment on the baptismal certificate. You will probably be able to see if he is transferred to the Calcutta Police (possibly he would then be on the "Town Major's List (Unattached List) which you could follow through) and there may even be an indication of his death.
