It\u2019s a really, very, very, very small probability it\u2019s not him. It\u2019s like 99 percent him,\u201d Bear, 38, said of the family\u2019s fear for Matt, 43, in a Friday, May 29, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/864617012928705\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook video<\/a> after being told that his brother could have died. \u201cI document my life and I document it as I hear stuff.

There was no official confirmation that the unidentified man is Matt.<\/p>\n<p>The Okanogan County Sheriff Office in Washington announced in a press release that somebody called 911 on Wednesday, May 27, with the report.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"article__content\">\n<h3 class=\"article__title\">\n<p>    <span class=\"related-badge\">Related: <\/span><span class=\"related-title\">&#8216;Deadliest Catch&#8217; Star Todd Meadows&#8217; Sister Breaks Silence on His Death<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\tDeadliest Catch star Todd Meadows\u2019 sister Mackenzie Meadows is mourning her sibling within the wake of his death.

I&#8217;m wondering where the kindness has gone on this planet and why people knock people down as a substitute of attempting to help them,\u201d he continued. \u201cPeople\u2019s words hurt people. They do. It hurts people. It might probably hurt people just with the little comments you permit. Luckily not me, it doesn\u2019t hassle me because I do know you\u2019re unsuitable.

Right now the body has not been recovered and all eyewitnesses have said that the outline matches Matt\u2019s description to a T.

The <em>Alaskan Bush People<\/em> star explained that the seek for Matt has been briefly called off as a consequence of a \u201creally bad storm\u201d that is happening in Washington, where Matt resides.<\/p>\n<p>Along with addressing the toxic social media comments, Bear slammed the speculation that the family shunned Matt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe family didn\u2019t turn their back on Martt. We spent a number of trouble, stuff, hassle and money attempting to help Matt,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody cared about him. Everyone was on his side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bear claimed that Matt was the one who \u201cdistanced himself from the family\u201d with some members not associating with him in any respect. Bear, for his part, shared that he kept in contact along with his brother.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did speak with him. But y\u2019all being hateful and stuff like that within the comments is apparent and easily not cool,\u201d he said. \u201cEspecially in light of every part occurring.
