    It’s not been looking good for him for some time now, because of the long term drug abuse. I was reading that he ended up with a perforated bowel because of his opiate abuse that put him close to death and in a coma for 2 weeks, before needing a dozen operations to correct it. All very sad.

    Yes just read now about his colon bursting due to his opiate use. So very sad. I wont speculate as to what has happened but its no age. Love to his family.

    Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty.
    And I should be dead.
    If you like, you can consider what you're about to read to be a message from the beyond, my beyond.



    The opening words of his book released late last year.

    So tragic. Showbiz is a business with lots or aquintances but very few friends, pun not intended. Plenty will be quite rightly saying great things about him. But most will have tried very little to help someone who has been struggling for most of his adult life.

    Sad news. Matthew seems to have been a troubled. Individual.

    Tbh I’d never heard of him and I must be the only person who has never seen an episode of Friends.

    The girlfriend I had at the time was American & we used to watch this, Frasier & Curb Your Enthusiasm. I don't really watch sitcoms these days, but they were all very watchable TBH. Sad he has passed, he was very good in Friends, the dry wit was superbly delivered.

    My ex liked it/Friends, but not me, and I'd go on the computer or the console if it was on. Although I do like some American sit com's.
    I had no idea that Matt had been struggling and suffering though like that, because of drugs. :(

    RIP Matthew. He'd put stuff on his Instagram in recent days which appear to be a clue that he this was going to happen as it did, so sounds like he planned it. Very sad whatever the truth.

    Me neither. Seen clips and that's it.

    Sad all the same. From what our lass says he's had some serious addictions.
