‘Alaskan Bush People’ star Matt Brown dead at 43: details, inside his final days, brothers speak out
“Alaskan Bush People” star Matt Brown’s ex-girlfriend, Jamie, reportedly “did everything she could” to help him through his “personal struggles” before his tragic suicide.
Sources told TMZ Thursday that Jamie spent months urging Matt to seek professional help and believed she couldn’t be his “only source of strength” during his “darkest moments.”
Despite their breakup and leading up to his death, Jamie allegedly still cared for Matt and “remained committed” to the reality star’s well-being.

The sources also claimed the pair’s split wasn’t Jamie’s “fault.”
In fact, people close to Matt viewed Jamie as “a positive influence in his life,” insiders revealed.
They said Matt’s loved ones considered Jamie “a blessing” and described her as sweet, quiet, patient and extremely supportive of Matt.
As Page Six previously reported, Matt was dealing with a lot emotionally — including his split from Jamie — in the days leading up to his death.

Brown family friend Chay Moore of Stardog Champion K9 said the breakup “was definitely” on Matt’s “mind” when he saw the Discovery Channel star three weeks before the tragedy.
Moore said Matt was also frustrated on the last day they saw each other because his truck broke down.
“He had been walking and riding buses and, you know, from town to town to, to survive,” Moore shared. “He was using buses and stuff.”
As for Jamie, Moore revealed she “spearheaded” the mission to find Matt’s body in the Okanogan River in Washington state.
“Matt’s girlfriend was really, really pushing us hard to get it moving and get out there on that water,” he told us. “I think she had a notion of where she thought he was, you know, in her mind, I think.”

The body was discovered when an eyewitness called 911 after spotting a man— later identified as 43-year-old Matt — wading in the Okanogan River.
On May 30, Matt’s younger brother, Bear Brown, announced Matt “took his own life.”
Bear claimed his older brother had “been struggling for a long time with alcohol and with drugs” and that he “didn’t want anything to do with the family.”
The Okanogan County Coroner ruled Matt’s death a suicide caused by a single penetrating gunshot wound to the head.
