A member of his hunting party found the Minnesota teen.
It's the type of story you hope you never hear. A 16-year-old from Minnesota was found dead in his treestand. The teen's death was the result of a gun shot wound.
Authorities originally received reports of the death via accidental shooting; however the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office has now reclassified the death as a suicide.
The young man was part of a group deer hunting during the rut in northeastern Minnesota near Aurora.
This is a developing story. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the young man and his hunting party.
