Gabriel Brown shared on TikTok that he believes his brother may have taken his own life. He mentioned that Matt had been battling alcohol and drug addiction, along with other personal struggles. While an official cause of death has not been confirmed, Gabriel noted that he never suspected Matt would harm himself, but the circumstances suggest it might have been self-inflicted.

The Okanogan County Sheriff's Office received a report of a man in the river, with witnesses stating he was seen in the water before being carried away by the current, according to Page Six. A firearm was reportedly found at the scene.

I would have never thought Matt would do something to himself. But it looks like it could have been a self-inflicted act.

Concerns for Matt Brown's well-being arose last week after he posted a disturbing video on YouTube. He appeared in 79 episodes of "Alaskan Bush People" between 2014 and 2019. The show documented the Brown family's life in remote wilderness. Gabriel has asked fans for respect and to refrain from negative comments as the family grieves.

I love this sport. I love being in these moments. I went to the 18th the first and second time and I was just grateful to be in that situation. I feel like you just have to enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be here, to make that putt on the 18, to have my teammates, my wife, everyone. Korea was great.
