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.

Shain Gandee, 21, his uncle David Gandee, 48, and Donald Robert Myers, 27, were last seen at a bar in Sissonville, West Virginia, at about 3 a.m. on Sunday morning.
The reality star’s Ford Bronco was found more than a day later in deep mud off a dirt road, not far from his home.
The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office said on Tuesday that the death of each of the men was accidental and the cause was carbon monoxide poisoning.
According to authorities, the exhaust pipe was buried in mud, causing the deadly gas to seep into the vehicle.
On Shain Gandee’s General Store Facebook page, his cousin Ashley posted: “I just wanted to let everyone know that the family feels that Shain died peacefully in his sleep without pain or suffering.
“They are making arrangement (sic) now for his funeral. Nothing is confirmed but they are thinking Saturday. So private or public hasn’t been decided I will try to keep everyone updated.”
The news came at the same time of an outpouring of support and prayers for Shain Gandee by fellow Buckwild castmembers and other MTV reality stars, who regarded him as a kind man with a big heart.
Cara Parrish, Shain Gandee’s heartbroken love interest on Buckwild, tweeted: “This is the emptiest I’ve ever felt. Please pray for [Shain Gandee’s parents] Dale and Loretta.”

Buckwild, in which Shain is nicknamed Gandee Candy, has been dubbed the “Redneck Jersey Shore”.
The reality show follows Shain Gandee, 21, and eight other young adults in Virginia, all of whom love small-town American life.
Shain Gandee in particular shunned cell phones and social media, and was happiest when he was hunting and four-wheeling, according to the West Virginia Gazette.
