Body of missing actress found in ravine

SEATTLE -- The King County medical examiner has confirmed a body found in a ravine in the Seattle suburb of Auburn is that of missing actress Misty Upham, known for her roles in "August: Osage County," "Frozen River" and "Django Unchained."

In a statement, the medical examiner's office said Friday the 32-year-old woman died Oct. 5. That's the day her family told police that the American Indian actress was suicidal. Relatives reported her missing the next day. The medical examiner said the cause and manner of death are being investigated.

Auburn police spokesman Steve Stocker said the body was found Thursday near the White River. Items with Upham's name on them were found nearby. He said there was no evidence of foul play.

A family friend found the body while a group of friends and family were searching in the area.
