Son of Charles Michael Stuart and Dorothy Francis Kingston Stuart.
Beloved father of 12 year old daughter, Hope.
He was the brother of Charles Stuart, who allegedly shot his pregnant wife in October 1989. Charles Stuart had plunged to his death from a bridge the day after Matthew confessed to police that Charles had shot his wife.
In January 1990, Matthew confessed to police that he assisted his brother by hiding the gun. He served time in prison for this.
He died in Heading Home emergency shelter in Cambridge. Cause of death - Overdose.
Lived to age 45 years..∼Matthew Francis Stuart
Matthew Stuart was arrested on cocaine trafficking charges in Revere almost immediately after he was released in 1997 after three years in prison on charges stemming from the killing of Carol DiMaiti Stuart. The drug charges were later dropped for lack of evidence and his parole was formally ended by a judge.
CAMBRIDGE - The Central Square homeless shelter where Matthew Stuart died of an apparent drug overdose is investigating his death and the circumstances that led up to it, a senior official at the shelter said.
“We are currently investigating to see what happened in this situation,’’ said Wendy Jacobs, the deputy executive director of Heading Home, which operates the Cambridge Shelter on School Street, on Monday. “This is a tragic event and again, our hearts go out to his family.’’
Stuart, 45, was found dead in a bathroom at the shelter shortly after 1 a.m. on Saturday. He probably died of a drug overdose, a law enforcement official told the Globe on Monday, requesting anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case. Intravenous drug paraphernalia was found with Stuart’s body.
Stuart was the younger brother of Charles Stuart, whose infamous killing of his pregnant wife, Carol DiMaiti Stuart, in their car on Mission Hill in 1989 fanned the flames of racial tension in Boston after Charles Stuart blamed the crime on a black man. When questioned by police, Matthew Stuart confessed his brother killed Carol Stuart and he helped cover it up. Before Charles Stuart could be arrested, he jumped off the Tobin Bridge to his death on Jan. 4, 1990.
DECEMBER 20, 2011
Matthew Stuart died of a drug overdose, according to the results of an autopsy conducted by the state.
The report cites “acute intoxication by the combined effects of ethanol and cocaine” and ruled the man’s death an accident, said Terrel Harris, a spokesman for the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security.
According to one of the law enforcement officials, Stuart was found unresponsive in a bathroom at the shelter and declared dead at the scene.
His body was taken away by officials from the medical examiner’s office.
A sister from Revere was notified as Stuart’s next of kin, according to one of the officials. No one answered at an address in Revere.
At an address for another relative in Marblehead, a man who answered the door refused to comment.
At the shelter yesterday, a house unmarked by a sign, two employees declined to comment, citing residents’ privacy.
Stuart was released after three years in prison in 1997 on charges stemming from the killing. He was arrested for cocaine trafficking in Revere almost immediately afterward, but those charges were later dropped for lack of evidence, after he served three more months for being arrested while on probation.
Little is known about his life over the past 14 years, and family members have declined repeated requests for comment.
It is also not known how Stuart ended up at the Heading Home: Cambridge Shelter, which is described on its website as an emergency shelter with 21 beds.
“Heading Home deals with a highly vulnerable population who are often, unfortunately, in need of substantial help,’’ Jacobs said. “We have provided housing and other assistance to tens of thousands of individuals and families over nearly 40 years to support them in overcoming barriers to end their homelessness.’’
