As TMZ reported … Bear posted an emotional TikTok video Thursday saying he was told Matt had been seen near a river and was later observed floating in the water. Though Bear said he couldn’t independently verify the account, he acknowledged the circumstances appeared to point to his brother.
The Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office told TMZ … a 911 caller reported seeing a man sitting in shallow water along the Okanogan River south of Oroville on Wednesday. Authorities say the caller looked away briefly, then turned back to find the man face down in the river before he was swept away by the current.
Despite a search by police, firefighters, and EMS personnel, the man has not been located. Authorities said Friday the search would resume when weather conditions improve.
Last week, Matt posted a YouTube video of himself allegedly intoxicated and wandering around naked with what appeared to be a gun in a public park in Washington state.
TMZ broke the story … family sources told us relatives cut off communication with Matt about five years ago because of his increasingly erratic behavior.
