Sadness in Hollywood from the news that former actor and star as a child, Matthew Midler, committed suicide.
According to officials and his mother, the 19-year-old using sodium nitrate that he ordered for $ 15 from Amazon, after searching online how to use it to end his life.
After toxicological examinations, the Lancaster medical examiner’s office ruled that the death of the 19-year-old actor, who had become famous from his participation in “Our Idiot Brother”, was suicide due to the toxicity caused by sodium nitrate.
The oxidizing agent, often used to preserve foods such as meat, more often kills people by mistake, causing low blood pressure and restricting the flow of oxygen to the body.
Middler’s mother confirmed to TMZ that her son bought the substance online to commit suicide in his early days away from home going to Millersville University in Pennsylvania.
Monica Middler – who previously revealed that her son was suffering from “extreme anxiety” – said she later found a heartbreaking link in her son’s internet search history.
The actor was looking for information on how to take sodium nitrate and use it to end his life painlessly. He ordered the substance on Amazon for $ 15, which was enough to kill up to four people.
Monica Middler said she approached me openly about her child’s path to suicide in the hope that it would be a warning to other families who may not be aware of the dangers of the seemingly harmless substance. But also to see the signs in their own children.
Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
