Angela Meadows, the heartbroken mother of Deadliest Catch star Todd Meadows, who died while filming the Discovery series, has made a desperate plea with the network not to air footage of her son’s death.

The 25-year-old deckhand died after he fell overboard from the Aleutian Lady fishing vessel on the Bering Sea on February 25. The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed that the crew recovered Todd from the water around 10 minutes later, but he was “unresponsive” and “attempts to resuscitate were unsuccessful.”
