“Deadliest Catch”<\/a> deckhand Todd Meadows’ death is under investigation, the Coast Guard confirmed to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Meadows died last week while fishing off the coast of Alaska onboard the Aleutian Lady. He was 25.<\/p>\n

Coast Guard<\/a> watchstanders at the Arctic District command center in Juneau received notification from a fishing vessel just after 5 p.m. local Alaska time that a crew member fell overboard, officials told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

\u2018DEADLIEST CATCH\u2019 DECKHAND DEAD AT 25<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Aleutian Lady was positioned approximately “170 miles north of Dutch Harbor<\/a>” when Meadows went overboard, according to the Coast Guard.<\/p>\n

“He was recovered unresponsive by the crew approximately ten minutes later,” authorities said. “First aid and attempts to resuscitate were unsuccessful,\u00a0and the crew\u00a0transported the deceased to Dutch Harbor.”<\/p>\n

“The Coast Guard is currently investigating this situation. As the nation\u2019s leading marine safety organization, the Coast Guard investigates marine casualties and accidents to uncover their causes and initiate necessary corrective actions.”<\/p>\n

Captain Rick Shelford called Meadows’ death the “most tragic day in the history” of his boat in a statement shared on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Todd was the newest member of our crew, he quickly became family,” Shelford wrote online. “His love for fishing and his strong work ethic earned everyone\u2019s respect right away.”<\/p>\n

“His smile was contagious, and the sound of his laughter coming up the wheelhouse stairs or over the deck hailer is something we will carry with us always.”<\/p>\n

Shelford continued, “Todd\u2019s love for his children, his family, and his life was evident in everything he did. He worked hard, loved deeply, and brought joy to those around him. Right now, our hearts are broken in a way that words can\u2019t fully express.”<\/p>\n

The captain asked followers to pray for the late fisherman’s children and family<\/a>, “and keep them in your thoughts as they face the days ahead without him.”<\/p>\n

“Todd will forever be part of this boat, this crew, and this brotherhood,” Shelford added. “Though we lost him far too soon, his legacy will live on through his children and in every memory we carry of him. Rest easy brother, till we meet again.”<\/p>\n

A crowdfunding campaign created to support Meadows’ children noted that he died “while doing what he loved \u2014 crabbing out on Alaskan waters.”<\/p>\n

“He was a determined dad to three amazing little boys who were his entire world,” the campaign said. “Everything he did was for them \u2014 their smiles, their futures, and the memories they will carry with them.”<\/p>\n

Representatives for the Discovery Channel show<\/a> also confirmed Meadows’ death in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Todd Meadows. This is a devastating loss, and our hearts are with his loved ones, his crewmates, and the entire fishing community during this incredibly difficult time.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
