Bunor’s son, Peter Jr., also an actor, broke the sad new on his facebook page thus: “In the early hours of  Friday, my father, teacher, confidant passed on”.

A few years ago, Bunor had suffered a devastating stroke and had complained bitterly about being neglected by his colleagues in the movie industry. The deceased featured in several productions including ‘Living in Bondage’, ‘Checkmate’, ‘Cock Crow at Dawn’, and ‘Memorial Hospital’ among others.
