Allister died by suicide. His obituary is in his deadname and reportedly his birth family has continued to misgender him even after he died.

Allister Matthews - Lockport, IL Born: December 9th, 2006 Passed Away: April 29th, 2024 Allister tragically died by suicide on April 29th, 2024. He was 17 years old. Few details are known regarding Allister's passing, and unfortunately, his family misgendered him even in his death, his aunt going so far to do so at the candlelight vigil held by his peers.

All available information regarding Allister's passing contains his deadname so I will not link it, he deserves so much more than that. I do not wish to receive credit for bringing this to your attention, but these were beautiful words from his best friend regarding who Allister was. "There are so many things that I could tell the world about Allister Matthews. I could tell you how he was never afraid to be himself. I could tell you how unapologetically unique he was from the way he dressed to the way he spoke. I could tell you how he had freckles on his cheeks and the bridge of his nose like little stars that I'd give tiny kisses to just to see him smile. I could tell you how he saw value in every life, no matter how small."
