TMZ reports that Michael’s remains were found around 10:30 am local time today in a "steep and very rocky" area.

"We have just been informed by the authorities my brother’s body has been found," Kristin said in a statement to the site.

"This is a very painful time and we are still processing it all."

Michael was reported missing three days ago, but his car was found abandoned on November 27th.  The San Clemente, CA native has a history of substance abuse, and had a few run-ins with the police this past fall.
