Matthew Joseph Lester was a 24-year-old from Solon, Ohio, who died in the Cleveland area in April 2003. Records give his birth date as March 25, 1979, and list his date of death as April 11 or April 12, 2003. Funeral services were April 16, 2003, at Tabone Funeral Home, with burial at Mount Hope Cemetery in Solon.

Public obituaries and memorial pages provide few details about the circumstances of his death and do not state an official cause or manner of death.

Key questions remain about who brought him to the hospital, what condition he was in on arrival, and whether investigators obtained explanations or evidence to confirm or rule out foul play. Does anyone have information about Matthew’s last hours or about any investigation into his death?
