RIP MATTHEW NELSEN (March 8, 1991 – April 23, 2023)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Sunday at 8:55 a.m.

Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published on October 17, presumably after the results of tox screening came back. The decedent appears to have drunk way too much in the hours before his death.

Alcohol deaths can be classified as accidents under the assumption that the sots didn’t intend to kill themselves.
