Misty Upham's lifeless body was found along a river in a suburban area in Seattle, according to a Washington coroner. The King County Medical Examiner's Office has stated that the cause of death of the "August: Osage County" actress is still being investigated.

The 32-year-old star was believed to have died on October 5th.

It was one of the star's family members who found her body during the search. Her body was found at the bottom of a very steep embankment near the White River. Moreover, even before her body was identified, the police were able to find Upham's identification card inside the purse that was also found with the remains.

Misty Upham was last seen on October 5th as she walked from the Muckleshoot apartment that her sister lives in, according to the statement provided by her father, Charles Upham. When she suddenly disappeared and they could not get a hold of her, she was immediately reported missing the next day.

Charles Upham mentioned that Misty Upham actually had bipolar disorder and had some random bouts of anxiety and depression. However, he believes that his daughter was not suicidal. "The truth is Misty is not stressed over money or career. Her career is going great," he said.

He then added, "As her father, I do not fear she committed suicide. I feel that she has been hurt by accident or someone has put her in harm's way."

Upham also appeared in "Django Unchained" alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. Moreover, she was also nominated for an Independent Spirit Award because of her amazing performance in "Frozen River" in 2008. She also had some roles in TV shows, such as "Big Love" and in a TV movie entitled, "Skinwalkers."

Sadly, she was currently busy shooting a movie entitled "Crawlspace," according to the Internet Movie Database.
