Deckhand Trey John Green III, 30, previously recalled the moment a rescue harness snapped as the crew fought to save the young fisherman and did 'everything they could' to help him.
Meadows' death certificate reveals he died from 'drowning with probable hypothermia' and 'submersion of body in cold water', per TMZ.
The public document confirms Deckhand Meadows was pronounced dead at 5:15pm on February 25 in an 'accident' aboard the Aluetian [sic] Lady crab vessel in the Bering Sea.'
The document states Meadows' body was cremated after being transported back to Anchorage. He is survived by his wife and three young children.

It was previously revealed Meadows was in the water for 'three or four minutes' before crew members were able to get him back on the boat, but by then he was already 'turning blue' with foam emerging out of his mouth and nose, Green told Page Six last month.

'We don’t want to see any footage from the accident and do not want Discovery to air any of that footage or make money off of our son's death,' she told the publication. 'We hope they only air good things of Todd on that boat.'
Instead, she revealed the family has asked for clips of Todd crabbing at sea so they can remember him doing what he loved and 'have the videos for memories.'
A GoFundMe launched to support the boys has already raised more than $48,000.
