Death
On 15 October 1980, several gunmen entered Bunting's home in the Lower Falls area of Belfast and shot him, his wife Suzanne and another INLA man, Noel Lyttle. Suzanne Bunting survived, but the two men were killed. The attack was claimed by the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) but the INLA claimed that the SAS were involved.
Bunting's father refused to let his son be buried with other dead INLA men and instead buried him in a family plot.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
“We all labour against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.”
—Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
