BOISE, Idaho — Community members have come together to celebrate a life lost tragically early with a makeshift memorial near Alamosa and State St in Boise.

Now, a makeshift memorial with flowers, balloons, and notes of support adorns the short bridge over the Farmers Union Canal next to State St.
A coroner's report released on August 7 confirmed that Matthew's cause of death was drowning. An investigation into his death is ongoing but police do not expect foul play at this time.
