The family of the star of MTV's top rated reality TV show Buckwild is reportedly unable to pay his funeral expenses.

Shain Gandee, 21, his 48-year-old uncle David Gandee, and Donald Myers were found dead Monday in a Ford Bronco at the end of a dirt road in Sissonville, West Virginia.

Authorities in West Virginia on Tuesday confirmed that Gandee died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

"Kanawha County can now report partial findings from the autopsies of Shain Lelyn Gandee, David Dwight Gandee, and Donald Robert Myers. The manner of death is accidental and the cause was carbon monoxide poisoning for all three subjects," Corporal Brian Humphreys said.

Gandee was the star of the controversial show described as "the Jersey Shore of Appalachia". It had attracted the ire of local senator Joe Manchin, who described the show as a "travesty" and said he was "repulsed at this business venture, where some Americans are making money off of the poor decisions of our youth."

MTV has suspended filming of a second season, but a spokesman said he could not comment on whether or not the show had been canceled. The first season debuted in January with an audience of 2.49m, twice Jersey Shore's 2009 opening.

Family members told TMZ that Gandee had made little money from the show. Shain's cousin, Ashley Gandee, told TMZ that she was organising a memorial "mud run", an off-road trucking event charging $10 a vehicle, to ease the financial strain on the family.

"I know the strain they are going through," Ashley said. "It's hard to provide a proper burial. It's already tough with the loss of family members ... expenses are tough as well."

Gandee and his uncle were last seen around 3am Sunday at Larry's Bar in Sissonville, where they told friends they were leaving to go four-wheeling. About 30 hours later Gandee's Bronco was found upright but submerged in deep mud. It is thought that because the muffler was buried in the mud, exhaust leaked into the cabin of the vehicle.
