Alaskan Bush People star Matt Brown has tragically died. The former realitys tar had been missing for days before search and rescue pulled his body from a river in Washington.
Brother Noah Brown confirmed the death of the Alaskan Bush People star on Instagram. Matt was 42-years-old.
"It's late, and I have some bad news. ... It's been a long day," Noah said. "For the past couple days, I've been working with search and rescue groups trying to locate the body. And today, the group that I was working with located the missing body, and I identified it as Matthew. My oldest brother, Matthew Brown, has passed away."
Noah said he was there when they pulled him from the river.
"I was there when we pulled him out of the river. We hauled him up off the bank," he said. "And then, after the sheriffs got there and everything, the coroner did his thing, and I went down to identify that it was him. It's definitely Matthew. His ID and Social Security card was on him, and I was able to visually identify that it was Matthew."

Noah thanked all those who were concerned about his brother.
"I've had a lot of phone calls I've been making to inform one and anyone that I haven't been able to reach or didn't have a phone number for, but knew Matthew personally, that finds out from this video, I am sincerely sorry that I wasn't able to tell you personally," Noah said in his video. "And for all the fans of the show and everything, I'm sorry that it came down to this of finding out."
Noah said that he would update viewers later.
"I'm gonna do my best to continue doing my thing on TikTok because I've got a bunch of videos that I've been made to post, so I'm gonna try to get back to doing that when I can," he explained. "Anyway, it's late. Say your prayers and tell people that you love that you love them while you can."
