He had a mere 2% chance of survival.Matthew had a tough time with drug and alcohol addiction, which greatly affected his time on Friends. He was once hooked on Vicodin and in 1997 he finished a 28-day detox programme.
He said: "The doctors told my family that I had a two percent chance to live. I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that's called a Hail Mary. No one survives that."
