Charleston, W.Va. — As hundreds of tearful friends and fans filed past two closed coffins Sunday, a slideshow of family photos showed the simple country life that "Buckwild" reality TV star Shain Gandee lived long before the cameras started rolling.
Set to country music were snapshots of the 21-year-old before his 15 minutes of televised fame: as a uniformed pee wee football player, in a tuxedo for prom, graduating from high school, kissing a bride and holding babies. In some, he wore hunting camouflage, holding a slain buck by its antlers and displaying a batch of gray squirrels.
Gandee, his 48-year-old uncle, David Gandee, and 27-year-old friend Donald Robert Myers were found dead April 1 in a sport utility vehicle that was partially submerged in a deep mud pit near Sissonville. They had been missing after being seen leaving a bar at 3 a.m.
Autopsies determined that all three died of carbon monoxide poisoning,...

In light of Shain Gandee’s death, I think it only makes sense for MTV to cancel ‘Buckwild.’ Find out why I think ‘Buckwild’ should be canceled.
Anybody who’s watched Buckwild knows that every week, the cast performs reckless stunts including making potato shotguns, racing through mud in Atv vehicles, rolling down hills in large tires, jumping off bridges, and so much more. Shain Gandee‘s death was the direct result of one of these wild acts, and it’s time for MTV to put a stop to this dangerous show.
‘Buckwild’ Encourages Reckless & Dangerous Behavior
The cast prides themselves on doing wild and crazy things that are dangerous. In the show’s original promotional trailer, Buckwild star Ashley Whitt is quoted as saying, “That’s nuts — we shouldn’t be doing this.”
The whole show’s premise is based upon showcasing dangerous behavior by young people and saying that it’s fun.
