The desperate search for Alaskan Bush People star Matt Brown has come to a tragic end as the 43-year-old was discovered dead on Saturday.
Brown’s brother Bear confirmed the news in a TikTok video, where he revealed that a body had been found in a river in northern Washington state ‘a few hours ago.’
It was later confirmed to be Brown, whose brother Noah helped police pull his lifeless body from the water.
Bear suggested that Brown died by suicide and spoke of a wound on his body that looked to be ‘self-inflicted’ but did not reveal the location or severity of the wound.
‘I would’ve never expected he would hurt himself, honestly,’ Bear told his TikTok followers of Brown, who had a history of drug and alcohol addiction prior to his death.
‘He struggled for a long time with addiction and I was so worried for a long time that he was going to OD. I didn’t think that he would hurt himself.’
Bear said that the coroner allowed him and other family members to see Brown’s body following his retrieval from the river.
Brown appeared on Alaskan Bush People with his family from 2014-2018.
