<P> Dotrice recalled, "He was how he looked--an imp, and I loved being his shadow . I can't imagine making movies would have been half as much fun without him . He loved being naughty, finding and jumping off of small buildings on the back lot . While I was Victorian proper and wouldn't let myself get dirty or muddy, Matthew had a great sense of fun and danger . He was a daredevil and could have been a race car driver . And he did live a full life over his 21 years ." </P> <P> Garber had unknowingly contracted hepatitis while in India in 1976 . By the time his father was able to get him home to London several months later, the disease had affected his pancreas . Garber's brother Fergus, who was 13 at the time of Matthew's death, denied any suggestion that Matthew was using drugs and said the hepatitis likely came from eating bad meat . On 13 June 1977, Garber died at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, London, of haemorrhagic necrotising pancreatitis, aged 21 . </P> <P> Garber's body was cremated at St. Marylebone Crematorium (East Finchley) London on 16 June . Fergus did not attend the funeral and did not know if any memorial had ever been erected for Matthew . Garber's parents both died in the decade following their elder son's death . </P> <P> Garber was posthumously named a Disney Legend in 2004 . Fergus Garber accepted on his behalf . On the Mary Poppins 40th Anniversary DVD, Karen Dotrice said she regretted not keeping in touch with Garber before his death . </P>
