Former KU football player Brandon Bourbon found dead after missing persons search
Brandon Bourbon, the former Kansas football player who had been missing since the night of April 2, was found dead Friday about 80 miles east of his hometown.
According to the Maries County Sheriff's Office, Bourbon's body was discovered on a secluded riverfront property off Route AA, just north of Vienna. The cause of death was suicide, according to the sheriff's office.
Washington County Chief Deputy Zach Jacobsen told The Star that Bourbon was found inside his van around 2 p.m. after a farmer had noticed the vehicle on his land.
Authorities had been searching for the van after Bourbon was added to missing persons reports in both Missouri and Kansas.
