According to Entertainment Tonight, Plenty’s body was found by deputies of the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office in Kansas Friday after the SUV was located.
Deputies searched the vehicle and reportedly found the actor’s remains nearby.
No cause of death was announced.

Deputies checked the area and discovered a deceased male in a wooded area away from the vehicle. The deceased male has been identified as Cole Brings Plenty, 27.”
Police said the medical examiner’s office and crime scene investigators quickly converged on the location where Plenty’s remains were located.
“This investigation is ongoing. If you have any information, reach out to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office at 913-782-0720,” the sheriff’s office said.
The late 27-year-old was the nephew of “Yellowstone” actor Mo Brings Plenty.
The concerned uncle had spent the week on his Instagram page asking the public to help bring his nephew home safely.
“Despite our persistent efforts, we have been unable to establish contact with Cole, and our immediate concern is his safety and well-being,” Mo Brings Plenty said. “Cole’s sudden disappearance without telling anyone his whereabouts is anomalous, causing a wave of concern spreading rapidly across the nation and parts of Canada.”
In a Thursday post, the actor asked people not to rush to judgment about why his nephew was missing.
According to ET, the younger actor had been accused of domestic violence.
