I found another cation that stated there were four wounded and one killed. I suspect he at least made it out of this engagement.

A little factoid here: The ARVNs were mostly conscripts. I remember my ARVN translator, Sgt. Phat (his real name!), told me once conscripted they were in till age 55. Phat's brother was an infantry Lieutenant and was KIA near Phan Rang in late 1969.
