He began drinking quite heavily for over a week. Less than two weeks later he was found dead underneath a tree from a gunshot wound to his head.

At the time, his death was ruled as a suicide.  Conversely, many theories have aroused arguing that Ringo’s death was actually a murder, which was staged to look like a suicide (Gatto). One reason for this belief is because Ringo’s gun that he supposedly shot himself with was verified as being fully loaded (Weiser). Later, Wyatt Earp admitted to allegedly killing Ringo. However, there is no substantial proof to corroborate either of these allegations, therefore it leaves the truth about his death to be unknown (Weiser). Ringo’s body was buried just a few yards away
