Country star Tyler Rich ended 2020 with a terrible shock … he found a corpse.
Tyler was running in a park in Massachusetts when he found a man’s body. The body was in a densely wooded area, and at first Rich thought it was a homeless young man who was sleeping.
Tyler kept running, but got worried and went around to make sure the guy was okay. He explained what happened next … “I realize that he is not breathing and when I approach him, all I see is a lifeless face covered in blood. Everywhere. It looked like maybe a shot or brute force. In this moment, I freak out and run up the steep hill to try to find someone with a phone to call the police. “
He said he then tripped over a couple walking on the main road and used the phone to call the authorities. After they arrived, Rich gave his statement to the police and the FBI.
Tyler says the cops came and found a gun in the guy’s hand, under his body, concluding that “it could potentially have been a suicide … Not that there is any kind of thing that could help me deal with finding him like this. “
Although Tyler says it was a little comfort to know that the body was not discarded by someone else, he is still extremely shaken … “I am doing what I can to process this, the image, the reality. It was a difficult 24 hours … Something I will never fail to see or forget … He looked like a normal young boy. Someone with a family probably wondering where he was. “
Tyler and his wife were in Massachusetts visiting relatives for the holiday.
Law enforcement officials are not releasing more information about the death.
As for Tyler … “Whoever you are and be, a friend of RIP.”
