She recalled that Matthew never admitted to using heroin but exhibited signs like weight loss and sluggishness. After an initial stint in rehab, he relapsed. Experts advised Eden that an addict \u201cbecomes the drug\u201d and must be held accountable. Heartbreakingly, she had to lock him out at age 20, one of the hardest decisions she ever made.\n

For 12 years, Matthew struggled with addiction, bouncing between treatment centers. Even when he visited, he would joke about locking up valuables but, in sober moments, expressed deep love for his parents.\n

At 27, he briefly turned his life around, got married, and studied creative writing at UCLA, but his addiction resurfaced, leading to his divorce. He later disappeared for months, living on the streets. When Eden finally found him, he was unconscious from an overdose.\n

At 29, he was diagnosed with clinical depression and prescribed medication, though it didn\u2019t seem to help. By 31, he was sober again and following in his parents\u2019 footsteps, landing a starring role in the 2001 film To Protect and Serve. He was engaged and excited for the future, telling his mother, \u201cLife is great, Mom. I can\u2019t believe I spent so many years not being awake to how green the trees are.\u201d\n
But soon after, tragedy struck. On June 26, police found 35-year-old Matthew slumped over the wheel of his truck, with vials of anabolic steroids nearby. The autopsy revealed he had died from an accidental heroin overdose. Eden later said that even in fitness, her son was obsessive, unable to do anything in moderation.\n
Eden, now married to Jon Eicholtz since 1991, continues to search for answers, wondering if their divorce had a lasting impact on Matthew\u2019s struggles. \u201cHe won a lot of battles. But he lost his personal war,\u201d she reflected.\n
