In Washington court papers exclusively obtained by The Celeb Report, his wife Ami, 57, requested to be the personal representative of his estate, which was approved.

Ami revealed “no valid will has been found.”

His wife listed his assets as $439,000, including $415,000 in real property for four parcels of land. 

He had $2,000 in a Wells Fargo bank account.

At the time of his death, he owed $27,000 in medical bills, making his estate worth $412,000. 

The probate case also included his official death certificate.

His cause of death was determined as probable cardiac arrest, congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease. 

Other conditions that contributed to his death were emphysema and seizures. 

Tobacco use also contributed to Billy’s passing.

The Celeb Report obtained the investigative report that revealed a production crew member called 911 at 4:13pm after receiving a call from Billy and Ami’s son Bear that his father was “not breathing.”



Crew members and family were at the home at the time of the death

The report notes Bear, 33, attempted to call, but “could not get through” to authorities. 

A deputy from the Washington Sheriff’s Office arrived to the scene when the medical call resulted in an “unattended death.”

The reporting officer wrote in the report: “I was advised a 68-year-old male was reported to have been in seizure, the male had become unresponsive and had stopped breathing. CPR had been done on the male without success.”

The officer wrote “multiple people” were inside the Washington residence, including family and crew members. 



Ami was interviewed by authorities at the time of the death

The deputy continued in the report: “I went inside, there were multiple people inside the residence.

“I was informed everyone inside was family, with the exception of three people who were with the production crew and had been on scene from shortly after the medical emergency occurred.”

The reporting officer interviewed his wife Ami and their son Gabe, 31. 

The report read: “I spoke briefly with Amora Brown, wife of the deceased male, Billy Brown.

“I offered condolences for her family’s loss, then was able to get her and Billy’s information, as well as some basic medical background on Billy. 



CPR was attempted when medics arrived

“I spoke to Gabriel, one of Billy’s sons and was able to get Billy’s medications to document, I also confirmed the health issues Billy had prior to his passing.”

As The Celeb Report previously reported, the Washington Sheriff’s Office confirmed a medical helicopter was requested, but he ultimately “passed away at home” after CPR was attempted.

A spokesperson for the office told The Celeb Report: “Medics and fire were on the scene a hour and a half before the Sheriff’s Office was called. We respond to all deaths. At this point, nothing suspicious or criminal.”

Billy and Ami’s son Bear confirmed the passing.

He captioned a photo of his mother and father: “We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved patriarch Billy Brown passed away last night after suffering from a seizure.



Son Bear announced his father’s passing

“He was our best friend – a wonderful and loving dad, granddad and husband and he will be dearly missed. He lived his life on his terms, off the grid and off the land and taught us to live like that as well.

“We plan to honor his legacy going forward, and to continue with his dream.”

Billy had been in and out of the hospital in recent years and was previously told by medical professionals that the high altitude wasn’t good for him.

The father of seven decided to defy doctor’s orders and continue to live in the mountains with his family.



Billy has been hospitalized for heart issues in the past

After returning home from one of his hospital visits, Billy told his family that he’d been having heart problems.

Billy’s wife Ami told their adult kids that their father wasn’t going to get better on the show. 

The Browns left Alaska due to the sudden cancer diagnosis of matriarch Ami and relocated closer to California so she could be treated at UCLA Medical Center.

The reality star family purchased a 435-acre property in the North Cascade Mountains of Washington State worth $1.6 million.

Her cancer is now in remission despite being given just a three percent chance of survival.

Billy was the patriarch of the Alaskan Bush People family.

He is survived by his wife Ami and their children Matt, Bam Bam, Bear, Gabe, Noah, Bird, and Rain.
