His death certificate lists his cause of death at age 58 as Traumatic asphyxia, pinned under tractor (driver) in a hay field near S. W. 119 & Walker in OKC, OK.
He was found by a friend. The family suspects that he may have had a heart attack before the tractor accident because it looked as though he was trying to make it back to his truck and my have lost consiousness and went over a drop off causing the tractor to turn over on top of him.
This was never confirmed.
