An actor who appeared in a spinoff of the popular television western 'Yellowstone' was found dead after he went missing amid a domestic violence investigation in Kansas, authorities said Friday.
The Johnson County Sheriff's Office reported that the body of 27-year-old Cole Brings Plenty was discovered in a wooded area. Crime scene investigators and the medical examiner were present at the location, but no details regarding the cause of death were disclosed.
Two days prior to his discovery, Brings Plenty faced charges in a nearby county for aggravated burglary, domestic battery, and criminal restraint, resulting in an arrest warrant being issued.
Law enforcement in Lawrence responded to a distress call from an apartment where a woman was heard screaming for help. Brings Plenty had left the scene before officers arrived.
Brings Plenty, known for his roles in '1923,' a Paramount+ series starring Harrison Ford, as well as appearances in Westerns like 'Into the Wild Frontier' and 'The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger,' missed an audition for an upcoming film project scheduled over Zoom.
His uncle, Mo Brings Plenty, a prominent figure in 'Yellowstone' and '1923,' posted a flyer on Instagram seeking information about his missing nephew. The family reported Brings Plenty as missing to the authorities.
This tragic incident has left the entertainment industry and fans in shock, as Brings Plenty's promising career was cut short. The circumstances surrounding his death and the events leading up to it are still under investigation.
