Just a few days after being named as a suspect in a domestic abuse case and going missing, 1923 actor Cole Brings Plenty’s lifeless body was found in Kansas, shocking the entertainment industry.
Following reports of an abandoned vehicle, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office revealed that Brings Plenty, 27, was discovered in a remote area of Kansas on April 5. After conducting an investigation, deputies discovered his lifeless corpse in a forested area close to the car’s position at 200th and Homestead Lane.
Social media was rocked by the news of Brings Plenty’s abduction, and his uncle, Yellowstone actor Mo Brings Plenty, used Instagram to draw attention to his nephew’s missing. Cole was last seen driving a white Ford Explorer on Sunday night, according to a missing persons poster supplied by Mo Brings Plenty. When Cole missed an appointment with his agent, which was out of character for him, people became more concerned.

It was said that Cole, who gained notoriety in 1923 for his portrayal of sheepherder Pete Plenty Clouds, departed Lawrence, Kansas early on Sunday morning. But shocking information from the Lawrence Police Department was made public only hours after his uncle’s public appeal. Cole Brings Plenty was identified by them as a possible suspect in a case involving claims of domestic abuse.
Authorities say that on Sunday morning, they received reports of a woman calling for assistance from an apartment, prompting the police to respond. Brings Plenty was identified as a suspect following further inquiry, and traffic cameras captured him leaving the city shortly after the event was reported. Citing probable cause for his detention, law enforcement notified neighbouring authorities of his arrest.
Because of the delicate nature of the situation, officials chose to exercise discretion and withhold the details of the claims. The production company behind 1923, Paramount, remained silent about the unfortunate turn of events.
The sudden passing of Cole Brings Plenty has created a gap in the entertainment industry and served as a sobering reminder of the difficulties and complexities that people in and out of the spotlight must deal with. The aftermath of this tragedy reverberates throughout Hollywood, provoking thought on issues of domestic abuse and mental health inside the business as investigations continue and information come to light.
