Tragic End to a Mental Health Battle

A tragic twist in a New Jersey case: Matthew Hertgen, found not guilty by reason of insanity for a brutal attack on his brother in February 2025, died by apparent suicide in jail at 32. Prosecutors described a horrifying assault involving knives, golf clubs, and even the family’s cat. Despite being deemed mentally ill and sent to a psychiatric facility, Matthew had previously attempted suicide in custody. His family, devastated but compassionate, remembers him as a loving soul who struggled with severe mental illness and now asks for support for mental health causes in his honor.
