The body of Philip Reitnour, 58, was discovered in Philadelphia’s Schuylkill River Thursday.
Reitnour appeared on Shark Tank in 2014, trying to sell the investors a security app. His pitch did not go over well and each of the so-called "sharks" turned him down.
The rejection came as a huge disappointment to the businessman and as a result, he was left in financial crisis.
Court records reveal he was $3 million in debt and being sued, according to reports.
But Reitnour's attorney, Josh Denbeaux, says he didn't regret being on the show.
"He said it was a lot of fun, it was interesting, and he liked it," he recalled.
