Shain Gandee death: 911 call record released
The 911 call from Buckwild star Shain Gandee’s friend, who found his dead body in an SUV with two others after they died from carbon monoxide poisoning, has been released.
Shain Gandee’s friend tells the 911 dispatcher they have been looking for the men for two days and explains their car is stuck in the mud.
The 3-minute tape, which was obtained by TMZ, captures the frantic moment the caller realizes that his friend is dead.
He starts off quite upset but reasonably calm but as the call goes on, he becomes more frustrated before eventually breaking down and sobbing uncontrollably after the dispatcher asks him who is in the car.
