Matt Brown’s Final Video Sparks Concern Of Homelessness, Truth Revealed As Cause Of Death Is Awaited

Former Alaskan Bush People star, Matt Brown has recently passed away and was confirmed to be dead by his brother, Bear Brown. Following his sudden disappearance, Bear shared in a TikTok video that he and the Brown family suspect Matt might have killed himself on the night of May 28, 2026. The suspicion emerged true after police found a man floating face down in Washington’s Okanogan River, and another Brown brother, Noah, identified him as Matt. As fans wait to know the exact cause of his death, his concerning final IG video about his living situation resurfaced.

Was Matt Brown homeless before his death? Truth revealed

Matt Brown shared his last video on Instagram on June 2024 where he revealed his living conditions and personal struggles with his followers. He mentioned he was “doing good” but had his fair share of troubles. For the unversed, he had a long-standing feud with his family and lived separately, with no contact with any of them, except for his brother, Gabe Brown. In what would become Matt’s final video, he shared that he liked sleeping between graves because it felt peaceful. His comment sparked concerns regarding whether he was homeless; however, in reality, he wasn’t. He revealed struggling to find a stable lodging, which probably meant he moved houses a lot, but he did not lack shelter.

Matt Brown allegedly tried to reconcile with family amid estrangement

Matt Brown often candidly shared details of his personal life, including a feud with his family on social media. In 2021, he had a major fight with his family over not receiving his share of funds raised from Alaskan Bush People. Matt alleged that his late father, Billy, kept all the earnings from the Discovery reality documentary, and that his siblings were unwilling to share the profits with him. In the video, he also mentioned being in touch with one of his brothers (probably Gabe), who acted as a mediator between him and his family. Matt trusted him to persuade the family to give him his due.

Matt wanted to talk things out with his family, not only about his payment but also to reunite with them. After undergoing rehab and overcoming his alcoholism to a great extent, he felt that he was ready to be back with his parents and siblings. Notably, the reality TV star completed six months of combined inpatient and outpatient rehab in January 2019, and has spoken openly of his newfound sobriety on Instagram. His exact words were:

“I was…trying not only just to get what’s mine but to reunite with the family [by] letting them know I’m not the guy that’s off the rails any more, and how hard I’ve worked on myself and getting over the issues from my childhood and from the time filming the show.”

Matt Brown’s family allegedly did not reciprocate his attempt at reconciliation

Matt felt betrayed when the one sibling he trusted with the mediation did not help him; instead, he said careless words that “triggered” him. Matt said that he tried his best to keep his calm as he had seen his dad’s alcoholic episodes and knew what not to do. He ended up raising his voice a bit, but didn’t scream. However, he realised that, despite all his efforts, his family never treated him right. Matt Brown even alleged that his family spread lies about his addiction. He stated:

“I found out yesterday, it’s like he was trying to set me off again…I was very triggered. I didn’t scream at him, I did at a couple of times get frustrated and raise my voice…They always say stuff that isn’t true about me and my addiction and I realise they are never going to do the right thing and I was never treated right.”
