Sad and shocking news to report as Bill Bumgardner, drummer in the groups Lord Mantis and Indian, passed away on Sunday, October 9th, at the very young age of 35. Currently, the exact circumstances of his death are unknown. Condolences to Bill Bumgardner's family, friends and bandmates.

Commented by the band (on 10.10.2016): "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of William 'Bill' Bumgardner - loyal friend, drummer for Indian, Burning Churches, and founding member of Lord Mantis. He passed away yesterday, October 9th, at 35 years young. All of us were incredibly fortunate to call him our friend and bandmate, and we will miss his humor and his unwavering commitment to his music. RIP, brother, you will be missed."

Two seriously awesome bands. Love both of their last 2 releases a lot, they were savage and addictive at the same time.

RIP.

That's very sad. Such a talented soul left us.

RIP

Anyway, nothing seems to look suicide. I don't know from where MI drew that news.

It could have been suicide... But Metal Injection is not a reliable news source.

Ken Sorceron from Abigail Williams posted on facebook that it was suicide. No idea how reliable he is, but they knew each other since he was in Lord Mantis for a while.

Then somewhere down the line, other sources would have mentioned the credibility of Information. It's still unclear about his death or any legit Information is been provided from his family members/relatives or band's official page.

Saw some tweets mentioned his suicidal but crassed by other tweeters mentioning his unbalanced health.
