Shain Gandee, whose simplistic lifestyle made him the most recognizable star on MTV’s “Buckwild,” was found dead Monday morning.
According to reports, police discovered three bodies, including Gandee’s, in a vehicle near Wolf Pen Drive in Sissonville, West Virginia. Details beyond that were unclear although foul play was not suspected.
MTV commented on Gandee’s passing:
“We are shocked and saddened by the terrible news about Shain Gandee, and those involved in this tragic incident. We are waiting for more information but at this time, our main concern is for the Gandee family and their friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Shain had a magnetic personality, with a passion for life that touched everyone he met and we will miss him dearly.”
Though not a ratings smash on the level of “Jersey Shore,” the reality series delivered solid, steady ratings throughout its inaugural season and has been picked up for a second.
