Shain Gandee of the MTV reality show "Buckwild" has reportedly been found dead along with 2 others in a vehicle today. This news comes only 31 hours after the 21-year-old was reported missing along with his uncle, 48-year-old David Gandee. Both Shain and David were last seen around 3 AM on Sunday morning when they told others that they were going 4-wheeling. Since this news was announced today, April 1, some people feel that this could be a sick April Fool's prank. As of now everyone is treating this as a real story and reacting appropriately on Twitter.

MTV released the following statement regarding the young reality star's death:

"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.

"Buckwild" is a show that is no stranger to controversy. One star, Salwa Amin, was involved in an early February drug raid in Charleston, West Virginia. She and two men were arrested after a narcotics shipment was delivered to the home they were in.

Now that Shain is reportedly deceased, the future of the show is in jeopardy.
