Spencer Matthews is making a documentary about his late brother Michael’s final days, according to reports. Michael died in 1999 when he was just 22, on a quest that saw him become the youngest Brit to conquer Mount Everest.
While Michael made it to the summit, he tragically lost the other members of his party on the way back down during a storm. He never made it home and, as is often the case for people who lose their lives on Everest, his body was never recovered.
Now, over two decades on from his death, Spencer, 33, is embarking on a journey to find his brother’s final resting place, and bring Michael’s body home.
A source told The Sun: “Spencer’s documentary about Michael and his final days is at the very early stages and Disney+ have shown an interest.” “Though the Matthews family were never able to recover Michael’s body, there is a guide who believes they know his final resting place,” they went on. “It is a hugely emotional project and will be a very upsetting journey for many reasons, but Spencer is hugely passionate about embarking on it if he can make it work.” They added that Spencer's wife Vogue Williams, his parents and brother have given the documentary their full backing.
