The cause of the sudden death of Mathew Theobald, 31, on Saturday (October 10) is unknown at this time and the family is awaiting the results of an autopsy.

“Anyone who knew him knew he was such a character.
“I’ve even gotten a message from someone saying that he saved her life; she was so depressed that she was going to end her life, but he talked to her.”
Matty lived in Ellesmere Port for most of her life, but recently moved to Upton in Chester.
Emma described how her brother volunteered to help out at a weekly disco for people with special needs at the Ace Club in Ellesmere Port.

He had also published articles in a book to help people with anxiety and depression.
She said: “Matty had been unemployed since leaving his job at Costco because he was fighting his own demons and had struggled with mental health issues for years. No matter how low he was, he always helped those in need and put their needs first. ..

“He felt like he hadn’t gotten the help he needed from the mental health teams and often said he wanted to lead his own group to help people with problems like him. He had borderline personality disorder, but was open about his problems. “
An autopsy did not find a natural cause of death, which means that more tests will be required.
A crowdfunding page set up by Matty’s family “to give him the goodbye he deserves” has so far raised over £ 1,500. You can donate here.
