Bear Brown<\/strong><\/a> has shared details of his brother Matt Brown<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s past struggles amid the Alaskan Bush People<\/em> alum\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n

Posting via TikTok<\/a> on Thursday, May 28, Bear, 38, claimed that Matt, 43, had been grappling with some tough situations in his personal life.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has been struggling for a long time, you know, with alcohol and with drugs and stuff,\u201d Bear claimed. \u201cHe has other issues and stuff, too. He has done a lot of stuff that people like, don\u2019t even know about.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video, Bear recalled the last interaction he had with his sibling, explaining that he ran into Matt at a Walmart and they spoke for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the last time I saw him, you know, and he called me after that, and he said that he had fallen off the wagon, and I was like, \u2018Well, get back on it, man, you know, everybody falls off, you know, just get back on it, rehab if you\u2019ve got to, you\u2019ve got this, you fought it a lot before,\u2019, and that was the last call I had with him, and that was a little bit ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bear added that Matt had also been dealing with a relationship breakdown at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was going through like a really bad breakup, apparently,\u201d Bear said. \u201cThere was this girl that he really liked, and I guess they, like, broke up, and I guess he\u2019d been drinking too much and stuff, and I don\u2019t know all the details to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are grave fears for Matt\u2019s wellbeing after witnesses claimed that they had seen Matt floating in a river. Bear addressed these claims in the TikTok video, clarifying that he couldn\u2019t confirm the speculation was \u201c100%\u201d accurate but it was \u201clikely.\u201d<\/p>\n

TMZ<\/em> reported that the Okanogan County Sheriff\u2019s Office received an anonymous call on Wednesday, regarding a man sitting in the shallow waters of the Okanogan River in Washington. The caller claimed to see the man lying face down in the river and being swept away by the current. Emergency responders searched the area but have yet to find a body.<\/p>\n
