Bergin stated that there was no apparent evidence of foul play, but the official cause of death would not be released until the toxicology report was completed.

Painter gained popularity in 2006, when he started to appear on the early seasons of the Discovery Channel series. The show followed the thrilling lives of fishermen in the Alaskan waters, specifically the dangerous side of the job that many people were unaware of. Painter came onto the show during season two as an expert crab fisherman. He was an engineer aboard the F/V Maverick, then later taking over as captain. Painter then acquired his own vessel, the F/V Tradition, and returned the Maverick to Capt. Rick Quashnick. He ultimately decided to leave the series several episodes into season three.
