On September 6, 1986, Gipe suffered an extreme allergic reaction shortly after being stung by a bee. He was rushed to a hospital near his home in Glendale, but suffered a heart attack en route and was pronounced dead on arrival. He was fifty-three years old. Novelizations for the second and third parts of the Back to the Future trilogy were written instead by Craig Shaw Gardner.
