Matt Brown Cause of Death: ‘Alaskan Bush People’ Star Was 43

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The tragic search for Matt Brown has come to a heartbreaking end.

Just days after family members publicly expressed fears that the former Alaskan Bush People star had died, authorities and search crews reportedly located his body in a Washington river.

He was 43 years old.

According to TMZ, Brown’s body was discovered Saturday in the Okanogan River after an extensive search effort that had stretched on for several days.

The discovery reportedly came after private search volunteers continued looking even after official search operations had been suspended because of dangerous river conditions.

Brown’s brother, Bear Brown, confirmed the news in an emotional social media video.

“They found a body in the river a few hours ago, and it was positively identified as Matt,” Bear said, adding that their younger brother Noah was present and helped identify and recover the body.

At this time, an official cause of death has not been released, and authorities are awaiting further examination by the coroner.

The discovery follows a week of growing concern about Brown’s well-being.

Earlier reports indicated that family members had become alarmed after losing contact with him. Witnesses reportedly told authorities they had seen a man in the river near Oroville, Washington, before he was swept away by the current.

A firearm was also reportedly recovered near the scene.

Search crews spent days combing the area using boats, sonar equipment, divers, personal watercraft, and cadaver dogs.

But worsening weather and rising water levels eventually forced officials to suspend active search efforts.

Brown had struggled publicly with addiction for years and had become increasingly isolated from much of his family.

He entered rehab in 2016 and later spoke openly about his battle with substance abuse. Family members previously told media outlets that they had become deeply concerned about his behavior in recent years.

As the eldest member of the Brown family, Matt appeared in nearly 80 episodes of Alaskan Bush People between 2014 and 2019, becoming one of the most recognizable faces on the Discovery Channel series.

Now, fans and loved ones are left mourning a reality star whose life was often marked by both adventure and struggle.

If you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or having thoughts of suicide, help is available. Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Donnie Wahlberg Divorced: His Marriage History With Jenny McCarthy, Explained

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Donnie Wahlberg’s a divorced man, which might be a shocking thing for some to learn about Jenny McCarthy’s beloved.

The boy band heartthrob-turned-Blue Bloods star has always been careful about keeping certain aspects of his private life away from the public eye.

As a result, even diehard fans might not be clear about the details of Donnie’s family situation.

Is Donnie Wahlberg Divorced?

These days, Donnie is married to Jenny McCarthy, and by all accounts, the relationship is a healthy and stable one.

But the road to “happily ever after” was not without its twists and turns.

In fact, both Jenny and Donnie have been divorced.

As People reports, Donnie married Kim Fey in 1999, and the couple welcomed two children together.

However, in 2008, they decided to go their separate ways, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Following a messy legal battle in which Kim requested sole custody of the kids, the divorce was finalized in 2010.

Court files were sealed, so we still don’t know how the judge ruled.

The exact cause of the split remains unclear. But at the time, many observers speculated that Donnie’s friendship with Canadian model Michelle Tomlinson was a factor.

Donnie and Jenny’s Second Act

Whatever the case, it wasn’t long before Donnie fell for his second wife.

It happened in 2012 when Donnie and Jenny both appeared on Andy Cohen‘s Bravo talk show, Watch What Happens Live.

Donnie recalled their first meeting while participating in Instagram’s “first photo challenge” in 2020.

“This was our first meeting at @bravoandy @bravowwhl — where Andy implored me to ask Jenny out,” he captioned a throwback pic of the future couple.

“I didn’t … however, we’d meet again a year later at her talk show @vh1 @jennymccarthy. And the rest, as they say, is history.”

Jenny later told the tale of Donnie’s fateful appearance on her talk show.

“I went a year without dating anybody,” she told New York’s 95.5 PLJ radio (via E! Online).

“So I don’t know if I was really randy or really ready. But he was there, and I gave him my phone number. I’ve never given a guy my number, but I was interested.”

These days, when they’re not on either coast for work, Donnie and Jenny reside in her native Illinois with their happy blended family.

Now that Blue Bloods has come to an end, Donnie is set to star in a Boston-based spinoff.

But no matter where life takes him, he’ll have Jenny by his side.
