Matt Brown’s Brother Shares Sad Details
Fans of Alaskan Bush People have followed the family for years and know all of their highs and lows. They have had many sad life events, such as losing their father, Billy, and health scares, but they also have had great moments, such as babies being born. Viewers followed them for fourteen seasons and continue to watch what they are doing via social media. Sadly, one family member, Matt Brown, has fallen off the radar due to a plethora of issues. The other day, Bear Brown expressed how worried he was for Matt, and now, the worst appears to have happened.
A man was seen face down in the Okanogan River after he was allegedly hanging in the shallow end. Then, a sound was heard, and upon looking back, he was then floating. A gun was retrieved in the water, near where he was, but his body is still MIA. Of course, the search will continue on when it is safe. As for why it is believed to be Matt, his brother Bear Brown came on to social media and made a quick video.

The Alaskan Bush People star could not officially confirm that his brother had passed away. However, the puzzle pieces were being put together, and it appeared that Matt had unalived himself. It was clearly heartbreaking for Bear, as this was news he and his family would have to work through together. Along with that, they do not have a body, so it is a waiting game.
A Hard Time For All
No one wanted to hear this news about Matt Brown. Some fans even challenged it and claimed he was just posting on social media. Yet, it has been almost two years since he has posted on Instagram, so what does that say? After learning of this, Alaskan Bush People fans immediately had a lot of feelings, good and bad:
- He should not have posted this unless he was 100% sure.
- Rather than confirming.. let’s get online and post a rumor
- I am so sorry it didn’t help all the cruel things people would say to him a little kindness goes a long way with encouraging to get help.
- I am so sorry for you and the family. Matt was very troubled and his heart never allowed his mind to be at peace. Maybe now he will be.
This is a sad story with a horrible ending. Hopefully, if it is, in fact, Matt, his body can be retrieved and returned to his family so they can grieve properly.
