The News!
The Imperial County Sheriff’s Department today discovered the dead body of
a man in the Palo Verde, Calif., mountain area. And it is believed —
although still unconfirmed — that it could be Tanner.

Here a snip from IVPressOnline.
com:

Authorities have not confirmed if the body is that of missing mixed
martial arts fighter, Evan Tanner, who had fought in the Ultimate Fighting
Championship (UFC). Tanner, 37, has been missing since last weekend.
Tanner’s friends from Oceanside, where Tanner resides, had been texting
him without reply since Wednesday before they reported him missing on
Friday. On Sunday, a campsite was discovered in the Clapp Springs area of
the Palo Verde mountains. Tanner’s motorcycle was found at the campsite. A
body was found today when a sheriffs deputy was flying around the general
location of the campsite. The Imperial County deputy coroner is being
flown in to retrieve and identify body.

If it is indeed Tanner this is truly a a huge loss. He was a pioneer of
the sport who had his own unique approach to fighting and to life.

He was an adventure seeker, documenting his travels in great detail on his
personal blog and on Spike. com.

Tanner recently overcame a dark period in his life and a battle with alcohol.

His life was an open book, which made either turned fans in his favor or
against him. Tanner didn’t really care one way or the other how people
felt — he did things his way.

He recently returned to the Octagon to recapture some of the glory from
earlier in his fighting career; however, he lost his first two comeback
bouts.

Tanner mentioned that he was going to take some time off
