More than 52,000 fish died in Brush Creek after low water levels, an overabundance of fish and high temperatures likely led to low oxygen levels, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation.

To put that number into perspective, the conservation department states that they handle about 200 similar fish kills each year. The department estimates that around 1,900 common carp, 240 silver carp and 50,000 sunfish died in Brush Creek.
 

One man posted a Facebook video of piles of dead fish while on his morning bike ride to work.

An MDC report states that heavy rainfall last week may have caused fish to swim upstream from Missouri’s Blue River into Brush Creek.

Bill Graham, a media specialist with the conservation department, said after the fish swam upstream, they were trapped by man-made concrete steps designed to control water flow in the creek.
