per Mary Frances Sizemore Dec 11, 2008 - Mike Bumgarner died from uremic poisoning coming from his kidneys. Then it went to his brain. Someone was always with him and he had to be tied to the bed. When he died his hair was still jet black with only 3 or 4 gray hairs.

She also remembered when he was younger that no one messed with Mike Bumgarner. And that he had bushy black eye brows.
