A distraught man called 911 to tell the dispatcher there were 3 dead people in a Bronco, and one was “Buckwild” star Shain Gandee.

The caller screams, “Oh Jesus, they’re dead. Oh my God.”

In the 911 tape, obtained by TMZ, the man sobbed as he told the dispatcher 2 of the 3 people were Shain and David Gandee. The man had examined the bodies and found no pulse on anyone.

As we reported, the Mtv show “buckwild” Shain and the two others died from carbon monoxide poisoning after their Bronco became stuck in mud with the exhaust pipe submerged.

The “Buckwild” star was found behind the wheel of a Ford Bronco SUV that was partially submerged in mud. The muffler was completely covered by mud.

Salwa Amin was also from the show and recently had some issues with the law. However these are not connected.

Gandee’s uncle and a third man, Donald Robert Myers, 27, were also inside the car. Autopsy results showed that the three men died of carbon monoxide poisoning, police said Tuesday.

The deaths have been ruled accidental.

On the audio of the 911 call, the caller identified Gandee and his uncle to the female dispatcher, saying: “They’re up on a hill in a mud hole. … We’ve been looking for them for two days. Oh my God.”

The dispatcher asked if there were any visible signs of trauma or any evidence of drugs in the SUV, and the caller said no. Then, the dispatcher asked if he was sure that the men were dead.

“They’re definitely not breathing, correct?” she asked, and he replied: “No ma’am, they’re not.”

“Are they cold to [the] touch?” she asked.

“Yes, they are,” he said, adding that they didn’t have a pulse.

The dispatcher asked the caller to meet the paramedics and take them to the location of the SUV.

The two production companies behind the MTV reality show “Buckwild” have offered to pay for all of Shain Gandee’s funeral expenses, TMZ has learned.

Parallel Entertainment CEO J.P. Williams — who produces the show with Zoo Productions — tells us, “Shain was a great kid with a big heart who had endless love for his mom and dad.” He adds, “I am from West Virginia and this show reminded me of how I grew up.”

A public service for Shain will be held this Sunday.

As for the donation websites that have been raising money to help pay for the funeral — we’re told that money will now go toward expenses incurred by Shain’s family during the recovery effort.

We’re told any remaining money will go towards the funeral of the other two men that were killed, including Shain’s uncle.

As we reported, 21-year-old Shain was found dead yesterday morning inside his truck, which had stalled out submerged in mud while off-roading. Shain and the two other men died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
