Matt Brown, a reality TV figure from the Discovery Channel's Alaskan Bush People, has been found dead in Washington at 43. His brother Bear Brown confirmed the news in an Instagram video.
Bear explained that Matt's body was discovered in a river and identified by their youngest brother Noah, who helped pull him out of the water.
Bear expressed his shock and sadness, stating that Matt had struggled with substance abuse and had grown distant from the family. He urged people to be mindful of their comments and avoid negativity.
Alaskan Bush People chronicled the Brown family's life in the wilderness, and Matt was a part of the show's initial seasons. He entered rehab in 2016 and struggled with addiction.
The exact cause of Matt's death has not been confirmed, but Bear hinted that it may have been self-inflicted. The family had been worried about Matt's well-being and had expressed their concerns on social media.
