Matt Brown, a star of the reality series Alaskan Bush People, was found dead in a river after taking his own life. Family members have expressed a mix of grief and relief in the aftermath.
Family sources described the reaction as complicated. Some relatives are devastated by the loss while others feel relief that the uncertainty tied to his long addiction battle has ended. Most of the Brown family had cut ties with Matt several years ago over his struggles. Gabe Brown was among the few who maintained contact. Bear Brown announced the death on TikTok over the weekend. The Okanogan County Sheriff's Office confirmed that a private search party recovered Matt's body from the river on Saturday.
