For me it lasted about eight months, this feeling of ‘I’ve made it, I’m thrilled, there’s no problem in the world.’ […]“I loved playing with them all, babysitting them, playing dumb games with them,” Matthew wrote of his siblings in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers & The Big Terrible Thing. “There is no greater sound on the face of the planet than a child’s laughter.”
Elsewhere in his memoir, Matthew wrote that his family members “never turned their backs on me.” He added, “Imagine such love if you can.”
Along with Suzanne, John and their respective children, Matthew’s ex-girlfriend was also listed as a trust beneficiary.
Matthew died in October 2023 from “acute effects of ketamine” according to a Los Angeles County Medical Examiner report released in December of that year.
