21 year old reality TV star Shain Gandee has been found dead in West Virginia after he had been reported missing this weekend. Gandee, a member of the cast of MTV’s Buckwild which had recently been renewed for a second season, was last seen alive at a bar in Sissonville, West Virginia around 3am on March 31st. He and his uncle, David (48), had told patrons of the bar that they were going four-wheeling in Shain’s Bronco. The family attempted to find Shain and David on Sunday, March 31st before calling 911 and reporting them missing.
 
Kanawha County sheriffs ultimately discovered Shain’s body along with this uncle and an unidentified person in a vehicle in a difficult area to access this morning.
