DARK DETAILS
Matthew died on October 28 in what appeared to be a drowning incident at his Los Angeles home.
Authorities were initially called to the home in response to a cardiac arrest after his assistant found him unresponsive and underwater in the jacuzzi at his home.
She frantically called 911, referencing a drowning in her brief 15-second call.
Police have since confirmed that the death was being investigated but said that there were no drugs at the scene and foul play was not suspected.
Matthew spoke openly through the years about his battle with drugs and addiction.
Authorities did find anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and a medication prescribed for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
On the morning of the Whole Nine Years star's death, he played pickleball with a female friend whom he often played with.
Matthew is said to have been feeling "fatigued" during their game and games played earlier that week.
Details surrounding his official cause of death are still coming together.
