Former child actor, Matthew Mindler, suffered from 'crippling anxiety' before he died, mother says
Former child star Matthew Mindler suffered from "crippling anxiety" — but appeared to be enjoying his first days at college before his suicide, according to his mother, who said her "heart is crushed." Monica Mindler told TMZ that she kept in constant contact with her 19-year-old son when he started Millersville University in Pennsylvania on Aug. 19 to help him deal with the issues he had suffered from for years.
