Washington authorities recovered Matt Brown’s body from a river after a witness’s 911 call Wednesday, and brother Bear Brown said Noah Brown later positively identified him.
A firearm was reportedly found near where the man was last seen, and Bear said the injury appeared self-inflicted, though he noted the coroner had not yet issued a final determination.
Brown appeared on Discovery’s “Alaskan Bush People” from 2014 to 2019 before stepping away amid addiction struggles; in 2016 he said drinking and anxiety had sent him “spiraling.”
Bear asked fans to respect the family’s privacy, especially their mother Ami Brown, as the family faces another loss after patriarch Billy Brown died in 2021 at 68.
