SUSSEX COUNTY, Va. — A man reported missing out of Sussex County has been found dead.
Late Friday afternoon, family members of 75-year-old Charles "Buddy" Barnes told CBS 6 senior reporter Wayne Covil that his body was found in a wooded area just off Route 40.
The family said it appears that Barnes drove his pickup truck down a dirt road, where it got stuck.
According to the family, it appears Barnes tried to walk out of the woods but fell and died.
As of 6 p.m. Friday, the Sussex County Sheriff's Office was waiting on the medical examiner's office to arrive.
Our thoughts are with the Barnes family and Buddy's friends.
