“During this incredibly difficult time, we ask for privacy as we process our grief and figure out how we move forward. Please know we appreciate you and appreciate your understanding,”

After sharing the post on Instagram, many stars from the world of Yellowstone paid tribute to the actor.

Cole Brings Plenty was a media student at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas. He had been missing since 31 March, and had been a suspect in a domestic violence case.

Local newspaper The Lawrence Times reported that, according to a missing person flyer, his family first reported him missing after he didn’t show up for an appointment with his agent for a TV show, which was uncharacteristic for him.

At the time of his disappearance, his father Joseph Brings Plenty Sr wrote on Facebook: “If anyone knows where my son Cole Brings Plenty is please tell him to call me. His family is very worried about him.

The actor’s body was found in a wooded area in Kansas on Friday morning after deputies received reports of an unoccupied vehicle.
