Country music star Tyler Rich had a sad experience this week when he came across a dead body while jogging on New Year’s Eve in Massachusetts.
‘Not like I planned to end 2020 … I think my last day of the year made sense. My heart breaks for this poor young man 😞, ”Rich (34) wrote on Friday along with a screenshot from a newsletter following the tragic story.
“It will be an image and moment of my life, I will never forget it. I must respond to the first respond and our army who face death every day and are able to live their everyday lives . “
Rich then recounts the moment he discovered the body and says he initially thought of a homeless man sleeping in a heavily wooded area. Out of concern, he later circles back to the place where he sees the man.
‘I realize he’s not breathing, and as I come out in front of him, only a lifeless face is full of blood. Everywhere, ”Rich wrote. “Looked like a shot or a blunt force. At this moment I am startled and jump up the steep hill to find someone with a phone to call the police. ‘
The singer “Feels Like Home” then finds a couple walking on the highway and borrowing their phone to call the police. He also made a statement to the FBI.
‘I do what I can to process it, the image, the reality. It was about 24 hours long, “he added. “Something I will never see or forget … He looked like a young, normal child. Someone with a family is probably wondering where he was. ‘
