After the shocking and sad news of Shain Gandee’s death on Monday April 1, the MTV star’s family is now speaking out about his ‘peaceful’ passing. Read on for all the details.

That it probably was carbon monoxide. They are making arrangement[s] now for his funeral. Nothing is confirmed but they are thinking Saturday.”

Money Raised For Funeral

As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, two production companies have offered to pay for Shain’s funeral services, something his cash-strapped family had been attempting to do.

Buckwild producer J.P. Williams, CEO of Parallel Entertainment, will pay for Shain’s funeral.

“Shain was a great kid with a big heart who had endless love for his mom and dad. I am from West Virginia and this show reminded me of how I grew up,” J.P. said.

Any additional money left over will go to the other two victims, Shain’s uncle David and friend Donald.
