"Matthew had been lured from a campus bar shortly after midnight
on October 7 by two men who told him they were gay. He was driven to a
remote area near the Sherman Hills neighbourhood east of Laramie, tied to
a split-rail fence, tortured, beaten and pistol-whipped by his attackers,
while he begged for his life; he was then left for dead in near freezing
temperatures. A cyclist who found him on Snowy Mountain View Road at 6:22
pm, some 18 hours after the attack, at first mistook him for a scarecrow.
He was unconscious and suffering from hypothermia. His face was caked with
blood, except where it had been partially washed clean by tears.
Matthew died at 12:53 am on Monday 12th October 1998, at Poudre Valley
Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, with his family at his bedside.
Hospital officials said Matthew had a fracture from behind his head to
just in front of his right ear and a massive brain stem injury which
affected his vital signs, including his heart beat, body temperature and
other involuntary functions. There were also approximately a dozen small
lacerations around his head, face and neck. He was so badly injured in the
attack that doctors were unable to operate."
