"My heart has been broken today," Nick wrote on Instagram Sunday. "Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded," he captioned a series of childhood photos of the duo.
"I have always held onto the hope, that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed," he continued. "Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss. But the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here."
