Missing Tracy City man’s body found Monday in Grundy Forest

Brandon Lee Price

The body of a missing Tracy City, Tenn., man was found Monday in a remote area of Grundy County.

Sheriff Clint Shrum said 25-year-old Brandon Lee Price was found by a hiker about 9 a.m. CST Monday between Werner Point and Sycamore Falls in the Grundy Forest State Natural Area. He was reported missing by his family on Jan. 6.

The location where Price’s body was found – a few miles south of the Grundy Forest day loop trailhead – is about 4 miles “as the crow flies” from where Price lived, Shrum said.

He added there was nothing to indicate foul play but the state medical examiner in Nashville is performing an autopsy to make sure.

Recovery efforts were completed by 4:30 p.m. Monday, the sheriff said.
