Shan Gandee Funeral: MTV Offers To Pay For Funeral After 'Buckwild' Star's Cause Of Death Ruled as Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
As Shain Gandee's family members and cast mates from the MTV reality show Buckwild continue to cope with the shocking and tragic loss, the network plans to cover Gandee's funeral expenses, according to Celebuzz.
The family of the MTV reality show star revealed today that they were unable to pay for Gandee's funeral expenses. However, according to Gandee's cousin, MTV is offering to help the devastated family cover the expenses of the 21-year-old's funeral costs.
"I have heard from the family that MTV would like to pay for the funeral services," Ashley Gandee Lewis told Celebuzz.
The bodies of Gandee, his 48-year-old uncle David Gandee, and Donald Myers, were found on Monday inside a Ford Bronco at the end of a dirt road in Sissonville, West Virginia. West Virginia authorities confirmed on Tuesday that Gandee had died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
"Kanawha County can now report partial findings from the autopsies of Shain Lelyn Gandee, David Dwight Gandee, and Donald Robert Myers," said Corporal Brian Humphreys according to AP reports. "The manner of death is accidental and the cause was carbon monoxide poisoning for all three subjects."
Lewis told Celebuzz that her cousin was last seen late Saturday night before he decided to go off-roading with his uncle and Myers. She added that the family grew concerned when the Buckwild star did not return in time for their traditional Easter church service.
Reports began surfacing on Tuesday speculating that the 21-year-old had been drinking late into the night before his death but Gandee's cousin told the website that he was not drunk. She said that he and his uncle simply loved to go off-roading.
The Gandee family does not believe there is any foul play involved with the deaths of the three men, the cousin told Celebuzz, adding that they "feel in their hearts it was carbon monoxide."
