The Unknown a scris:

Singer-songwriter Luke Bell has died at the age of 32.   The country artist was first reported missing in Arizona on August 20th.

Bell's close friend, musician Matt Kinman, confirmed the news.  Kinman was with Bell when he went missing. The singer was discovered on Monday "not far from where he disappeared, and in a manner we all feared he would be when we first heard the news," the blog notes.

Kinman told the outlet that Bell severely struggled with bipolar disorder. After virtually disappearing from the public eye years ago, Bell's mental health seemed to improve due to medication and treatment. "But while out West recently, Luke's mental state took a turn for the worse. While in Tucson with Matt Kinman, he ran off while Matt went to get something to eat," the blog shares.
