According to the Grand County Sheriff’s Office, Michael’s body is being transported to the medical examiner in Utah to determine the cause of his death. When the search crews found Cavallari’s brother it was around the Salt Wash area, right around exit 175 on I-70. It’s said that the area in Grand County was “steep” and “very rocky.”
A source from the Utah Medical Examiner spoke of the discovery.
“I can confirm that a body was found and transported to the medical examiner’s office in Salt Lake City.” When fans heard about Michael’s passing, they immediately took to Twitter and Instagram to send their wishes to Kristin in the time of her grief.

Kristin Cavallari initially was very hopeful despite sources telling E! that Michael had been in trouble recently. She posted her first statement about her late brother’s disappearance on her official Instagram.

A source told E! that Michael and Kristin had a typical brother/sister relationship with each other.
“She’s always been protective of him and tried to help him however she could.”
When it was reported that Mr. Cavallari was missing, a source told E! that he had been in trouble for a while.
“Sadly, Kristin’s brother has been getting into trouble for a long time. There’s always been a lot of drama around him.”
As of right now we don’t know what this trouble entailed, and it doesn’t look like this information is going to be leaked out, seeing as this is such a sensitive manner, currently.

It’s said that he had been living in Chicago for a number of years, but that didn’t work out, and was sent back to California. Interesting enough, Cavallari was arrested a few days before he was reported missing. Although Kristin seemed to be keeping a positive perspective on her brother in the days of his disappearance, it didn’t look good, as his 2014 Honda Civic had been found abandoned.
