“1923” actor Cole Brings Plenty’s death has “no indication of foul play,” the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office announced via a social media update Wednesday.
Cole, the nephew of “Yellowstone” star Mo Brings Plenty, was found dead in a wooded area in Kansas last Friday after being reported missing.
In a separate statement released Wednesday, Lawrence Police Chief Rich Lockhart said his department “worked very hard to investigate the incidents and worked very hard to find Cole” and that none of them “could have imagined this outcome.”

However, he conceded that his department “must work harder to increase trust with our Native American community members.”
“Through meeting with Cole’s family members and members of our Native American community, I clearly see that we are not where we need to be in partnering with a community that is very important to Lawrence’s history and to its current culture” he continued.
“It’s my hope that future bridges we build and partnerships we form between our Native American community and our police department will create a relationship that will not only increase trust and understanding, but will also be a model for other communities.”
Cole was last seen on Easter Sunday, March 31.
