As per the reports, Terry who loved carrying guns ironically lost his life due to his own misdoing. The incident happened at around 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on January 23, 1978, where he was reportedly playing with his .38 revolver. Terry didn’t have any idea that there was a bullet left in the chamber and this very bullet led to his demise.

As per the reports by Don Johnson, Kath’s band technician who was also present during the incident, Terry was continuously spinning his revolver in his finger, mockingly putting it on his temple, and pulling the trigger.
