Not true.Bugenhagen didn't die at that scene.If you even bothered to read,Red 13 later on says that his grandfather left Cosmo Canyon because he couldn't stand the boredoom;he didn't die,fool.
:rolleyes2

The obvious implication when Bugenhagen's voice trails off and his hand goes limp is that he died. When Red addresses the party by the Cosmo Candle, his speech seems frantic, hurried, even uncontrolled. Obviously, Red didn't want to admit Bugenhagen's death to himself, and he didn't want to alarm the party.
