Matty was an alcoholic seller of The Big Issue whose pitch was outside Weatherfield North Tram Station. In July 2021, he was in a drunken state and stepped out into Victoria Street where he was run over. An ambulance took him to Weatherfield General where he was declared to be dead on arrival.

Andy, a binman on his round, together his other colleagues organised a whip-round to pay for the funeral for the popular man and managed to raise £7,000 cash which was handed over to Todd Grimshaw of Shuttleworth's Independent Funeral Services. Todd, facing being blackmailed by teenager Will whose services he had used to split up his former boyfriend Billy Mayhew from Paul Foreman, purloined the majority of the cash to pay Will off, but he came a unstuck when the money ended up in the hands of local crime lord Mr Hendricks who kept the proceeds for himself.
