His daughter Heldi Hinzman said to the press the hero of 1980s died of killer disease in the evening of last Sunday at his home in Darlington, Pennsylvania.

Director George Romero had chosen him to play the zombie in this film in the opening sequence of the movie. Ruminating the past, the producer of the film said, and the audition of the film was really very hard. Bill was though present there being very old and very thin looking. He wore an old suit.

Dressed in that cloth, Hinzman went to a cemetery and attacked a few pair of young siblings by chasing them and knocking their heads on tombstone.

Fan following of his is a large number of people who like to call him as No. 1 zombie. His role in the movie was played quite dramatically and fought with the Hinzman.

He was very popular and very much accessible to the fans, added Steiner in his report. He kept on directing movies and was star too in 1980s horror movies –“The Majorettes” and “FleshEater”.
