Samantha Mathis Personal Life

One of the most popular things known about this actress is the tragedy that befell her with the death of her boyfriend and actor, River Phoenix, who died in 1993 at the age of 23.

Phoenix was an actor and a singer before he died as a result of a drug overdose. This happened at the Viper Room on Sunset Strip in the presence of Samantha Mathis and his siblings, Rain who was his sister, and his younger brother, Joaquin.

The drugs taken by the actor made him convulse for over five minutes, and by the time paramedics arrived, he was already turning dark blue in full cardiac arrest and in a flatline state, before he later died.

Although Samantha denied having knowledge that the actor was into drugs, many have always maintained that she has not been completely honest.
