A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department told Mirror.co.uk, "Los Angeles City Firefighters responded to the 18000 block of West Blue Sail Drive at 4.07 p.m. on October 28, to find an adult male unconscious in a stand-alone hot tub. A bystander had brought the man's head above the water and gotten him to the edge, then Firefighters removed him from the water upon their arrival."

They further mentioned, “A rapid medical assessment, sadly, revealed the man was deceased prior to first responder arrival. The circumstances are under investigation by LAPD and the LA County Medical Examiner. We mourn with families and friends who lose a loved one unexpectedly”.

The reported bystander is Matthew's assistant, who is supposedly the one who found him according to past reports.

As per Mirror.co.uk, The 54-year-old actor played Pickleball for two hours before coming home and sending his assistant out on an errand. Reportedly when she returned she found him underwater and called first responders.
