Buckwild Star Shain Gandee dies in Truck Accident

Описание: Police are still investigating the death of "Buckwild" star Shain Gandee, 21, along with the death of his uncle and another man.

Kanawha County Sheriff's Cpl. B.D. Humphreys said the red-and-white 1984 Ford Bronco's muffler was below the surface and that mud covered the passenger side. No foul play is suspected.

Although authorities won't speculate on the cause of death, one potential theory has emerged: poisoning from carbon monoxide. If the muffler was submerged and the engine kept running, it's possible the cabin of the vehicle could have filled with fatal carbon monoxide from the exhaust.

Sources close to the death investigation said, there could be evidence that Gandee may have died from carbon monoxide poisoning. But no cause has been confirmed by authorities.

Sheriff's department in Kanawha County in West Virginia told The Hollywood Reporter in reference to carbon monoxide poisoning as a significant possibility. "But we're waiting on the coroner's report."

The popular "Buckwild" cast member was found dead Monday inside a sport utility vehicle belonging to his family that was found partially submerged in a deep mud pit about a mile (1.6 kilometers) from his home near Sissonville, authorities said. He was 21. Also inside were the bodies of his uncle and another man.

Humphreys said Gandee, his 48-year-old uncle, David Gandee, and 27-year-old Donald Robert Myers were last seen around 3 a.m. Sunday at a bar and they told people they were going muddin off-road.
