Body found confirmed to be of missing Django Unchained actress

A body found in a ravine in the US state of Washington is that of missing actress Misty Upham, the King County medical examiner has confirmed.

The 32-year-old was known for her roles in the films August: Osage County, Frozen River and Django Unchained.

The medical examiner’s office said yesterday that the 32-year-old woman died in the Seattle suburb of Auburn on October 5.

That is the day her family told police that the Native American actress was suicidal. Relatives reported her missing the next day.

The medical examiner said the cause and manner of death are pending investigation.

Police spokesman Steve Stocker said the body was found on Thursday near the White River. Items with Upham’s name on them were found nearby.

He said there was no evidence of foul play.
