"It's late, and I have some bad news. ... It's been a long day," Noah said. "For the past couple days, I've been working with search and rescue groups trying to locate the body. And today, the group that I was working with located the missing body, and I identified it as Matthew."
"My oldest brother, Matthew Brown, has passed away," he continued. "I was there when we pulled him out of the river."
