Matte Brown of His family fears the fame of “The Bush People of Alaska” is dead, as police where he lives in Washington state search for an unidentified man.
Matt’s brother, Brown Bearposted a TikTok video on Thursday, expressing her fears that Matt may have committed suicide.
In his TikTok video, Bear said witnesses said Matt was seen around a river and, at one point, was floating in the water. He said he couldn’t confirm the information, but all signs point to it could be him.
Bear noted that he never thought Matt would kill himself…before appearing to choke on camera.
The Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office tells TMZ … someone called 911 Wednesday to report that a man was sitting in the shallow water of the Okanogan River, just south of the town of Oroville, WA.
The caller looked away for a moment, then heard a noise and turned to see the man lying face down in the river and being carried away by the current.
We’re told police, firefighters and EMS personnel responded to the scene and searched the area, but they were unable to find the body. The sheriff’s office informs us that as of Friday morning, no bodies have been found and that the search will resume when the weather improves.
Last week, Matt posted a YouTube video of himself, allegedly intoxicated, while walking around naked with what appeared to be a gun in a public park in Washington state.
We broke the story… family sources tell us they cut any communication with Matt five years ago due to his erratic behavior.
The Brown family was featured on “The Alaskan Bush People” for 14 seasons on the Discovery Channel. The reality show followed the family living in isolation in a remote area of Alaska, with its final show airing in 2022.
