the WOODS near his East Hampton home 19 days AFTER he went MISSING!
The body of Peter Beard, a photographer who became known for his wildlife pictures, as well as his personal life, was found in a wooded area in East Hampton.
The discovery Sunday came after a hunter spotted a piece of clothing in the woods about a mile from Beard's home and 19 days after he went missing.
The 82-year-old Beard had dementia and also had suffered at least one stroke before he passed away.
Beard is best known for his photographs of African wildlife and long friendship with Andy Warhol.
He was married to supermodel Cheryl Tiegs in the 1980s and had affairs with Candice Bergen and Lee Radziwill.
In 2017 his third wife, Nejma, had him placed in a psych ward at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital after he brought two Russian prostitutes to their home.
