Country singer Craig Strickland found dead

The body of American country singer Craig Strickland from the band The Backroad Anthem has been found in Kaw Lake, Oklahoma.

US country singer Craig Strickland has been found dead, more than a week after disappearing on a hunting trip in Oklahoma.

The star and his friend Chase Morland set off on a duck hunting adventure during a winter storm on December 26, and after failing to return home, their disappearance was reported to police.

A search ensued and Morland's body and their capsized boat was found two days later.

On Monday, Oklahoma Highway Patrol officials confirmed to E! News the search for Strickland had ended in tragedy as his body was recovered in Kaw Lake. The Backroad Anthem singer was 29.
