Los Angeles - Police found a body on Thursday
feared to be that of US actress Misty Upham,
who appeared in Django Unchained and 2013's
August: Osage County , officials said.
The body was found at the bottom of an
embankment in a Seattle suburb by a family
member searching for the 32-year-old actress,
whose movie credits also include 2008's Frozen
River .
Upham had been reported missing since 6
October, according to industry journal Variety.
"The body was recovered by a family member of
Misty Upham's family who was in the area
searching for her," said a statement by the
Auburn Police Department.
"A purse containing identification of Misty Upham
was at the scene, however, at this time the
medical examiner has not made a positive
identification nor a determination of cause of
death."
According to Variety, Upham's family reportedly
told police that she had been suicidal a day
before her disappearance. She had moved to

stroke, it added.
Her father, Charles Upham, was cited as saying
that his daughter had stopped taking medication
for anxiety and bi-polar disorder.

housekeeper looking after a strong-willed
matriarch (Meryl Streep), surrounded by bickering
relatives in a moving portrait of a dysfunctional
family.
