In a poignant development, Gabe Brown, brother of former “Alaskan Bush People” star Matt Brown, was spotted conversing with law enforcement officials last Thursday. This interaction comes amidst the ongoing search efforts for Matt, whose whereabouts remain uncertain.
According to reports from TMZ, Gabe, known to maintain a close relationship with Matt, unlike some other family members, was seen engaging with police at a river in Washington. This location is currently under investigation due to the disappearance of an unidentified individual.
Witnesses noted that Gabe was actively cooperating with officers, contributing to their efforts in the ongoing investigation. Meanwhile, Page Six has sought comments from the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office in Washington to gain further insights into the situation.
Amidst these troubling events, Bear Brown took to social media to share the distressing news with his followers, revealing that he had received information suggesting his oldest brother, Matt, may have taken his own life.
Bear informed his followers on Thursday that he had been told his eldest brother, Matt, “took his own life.”
While the 38-year-old reality star couldn’t “confirm that that’s true,” he said Matt, 43, “was seen in a river, at a river or close to a river” and later “floating down the river.”
A report was then called in to the OCSO in Washington — where Matt lives — and a search was started to locate the body.
“All the witnesses are saying that it was Matt,” Bear continued. “Someone definitely did, and a lot of people are thinking that it’s him. … It looks like it is. … It’s looking very likely that it is the case.”
In the OCSO’s press release, the authorities shared that someone called 911 on Wednesday to say they had just spoken to a man sitting in the shallow water of the Okanogan River, which is south of Oroville.
“The caller turned away from the man sitting in the river, heard a sound, turned back toward the man in the water and saw the man was facedown in the water drifting away in the current,” the press release read, noting that a gun was later recovered from the area.
Matt was last seen a week ago, giving an alarming nude livestream on YouTube, where he rambled while seemingly drunk and/or high and carried what appeared to be a gun.
In his most recent update, Bear shared via TikTok on Thursday that a body has not yet been located.
While posts have been made with Matt’s image and shared to a Facebook page with his name, Bear claims the posts are fake.
“Matt only has a YouTube channel. He’s not on Facebook. He’s not on TikTok. He’s not on any of those. Those are scammers that are posing as him for y’all guys to send him money,” he said.
