He was 60.

Anderson Co. (South Carolina) Sheriff Chad McBride told WSPA.com that an investigation is underway. Clemson University previously confirmed Henderson had gone missing, and a search party had been commissioned to find him.

"Bert Henderson did not come to work on Monday morning, and after trying unsuccessfully to reach him by phone, members of the IPTAY staff contacted a family friend. When they could not locate Bert, law enforcement officials were notified.
