According to the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office, one of the stars from the History Channel's show "Swamp People" died Monday morning.

According to Sheriff Waguespack, Mitchell Guist was loading something onto a boat around 9 a.m. in St. Martin Parish along the Belle River when he slipped and fell.

The Sheriff says it appeared he had some sort of seizure, but it is uncertain if the seizure was caused from the fall or something else health related.
