msn.comA country music star has been found dead after being reported missing more than a week earlier. The body of Luke Bell, 32, was discovered in Tucson, Arizona, according to the New York Post, which cited the city's police department.
His friend Matt Kinman, also a country artist, confirmed his death to the Saving Country Music website, saying he was found on Monday near to where he was reported missing on 20 August.
A representative for the Pima County medical examiner's office also confirmed to Sky News US affiliate E! News that Bell's body had been received and that a post mortem examination was pending.
Saving Country Music's obituary describes Bell, who had opened tour shows for artists including Willie Nelson, Hank Williams Jr and Dwight Yoakam, as "one of the most authentic and magnetising artists to grace the country music art form in the modern era".
