The search for Craig Strickland has sadly ended today after the Backroad Anthem lead singer was found dead. He was 29.

A spokesperson for Oklahoma Highway Patrol confirms to E! that Craig’s body was recovered and the family has been notified.

Strickland was declared missing Monday afternoon after his friend, Chase Morland, was found dead in Kaw Lake, OK. The two pals embarked on a duck hunting trip over the weekend and Morland even foreshadowed the tragedy on Twitter by writing, “In case we don’t come back, @BackroadCRAIG and I are going right through Winter Storm Goliath to kill ducks in Oklahoma. #IntoTheStorm.” h/t e!

On Sunday, a search was launched when a boat the two men were reportedly using for the hunting trip north of Tulsa, in Kay County, was found capsized in the early hours of Monday, according to Oklahoma’s News9.
