Search for Alaskan Bush People’s Matt Brown called off as river dangers impede recovery

Authorities in Okanogan County suspended the search for a man believed to be Matt Brown of Alaskan Bush People after witnesses reportedly saw him in the Okanogan River and a firearm was recovered; the man’s identity has not been confirmed, and Bear Brown had previously claimed witnesses believed Matt had taken his own life. The search was halted due to dangerous river conditions and pending information to refocus efforts, with Bear noting Matt had struggled with addiction.
