The cause of the deaths of “Buckwild” cast member Shain Gandee and two others whose bodies were found in a vehicle likely will be determined in autopsies by the West Virginia chief medical examiner.
Gandee’s body and that of his uncle, David, were found Monday in a Ford Bronco in a wooded area near Thaxton Hollow in Sissonville, according to a news release from the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office confirmed their identities, but said the third person found has not been positively identified. Family members said the third person is Robert Myers, 27.
Shain Gandee is one of the stars of MTV's hit reality TV show 'Buckwild.' The show, some say, is similar to Jersey Shore, only takes place in the mountains of West Virginia.
The sheriff’s office said there was no sign of foul play.
Deputies had received information earlier in the day that Shain Gandee, 21, and David Gandee, 48, were missing. The sheriff’s office received word of a disabled vehicle near Thatxton Hollow. Deputies and members of the Sissonville Volunteer Fire Department used all-terrain vehicles to access that vehicle, a 1984 Ford Bronco belonging to the Gandee family. The vehicle was in a muddy area along a worn path.
Inside the vehicle were the bodies of three people.
Prior to locating the vehicle, the West Virginia State Police Aviation Unit was prepared to take a helicopter over the area to assist in the search.
