Less than two months after the announcement that his MTV reality series, Buckwild, would be renewed for a second season, West Virginia native Shain Gandee was found dead in his car on Monday morning. The Daily Mail reports that 21-year-old Gandee, his 48-year-old uncle David Gandee, and an unidentified third body were located in a parked vehicle on the dirt road of Wolf Pen Drive, where Gandee lived, in Sassonville, W.Va.
