“We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of our beloved son and brother,” the family of the actor told People in a statement Sunday.

An official cause of death has not yet been released, but police sources told TMZ that no foul play was reported.

While the actor — who openly spoke about his battle with alcohol and opioid addiction — did not appear to have any illicit drugs on the premises at the time of his death, police sources told the outlet that various prescription drugs were discovered.

“Authorities found anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs and a COPD drug in the house,” the outlet reported.

Matthew’s parents looked grief-stricken and sullen when they pulled up to the Pacific Palisades home.

Matthew was survived by his parents and five half-siblings: Caitlin, Emily, Maria, Will and Madeline. He did not marry nor did he have any children.
