NEW ORLEANS, May 16 (UPI) -- "Swamp People" star Mitchell Guist died of apparently natural causes while building a houseboat, Louisiana officials said Wednesday.
Assumption Parish Sheriff Mike Waguespack told CNN the alligator hunter appeared to suffer from a seizure and fell backward Monday on the Intercoastal Waterway. Attempts to revive Guist, 47, were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead Monday at Teche Regional Medical Center in Morgan City.
