It is with deep sadness that we report the petirah of Harav Matisyahu Salomon zt”l, revered Mashgiach of Beth Medrash Govoah in Lakewood for decades.
Rav Salomon was a master of Torah and Mussar, who impacted tens of thousands and whose presence and inspiration made an immeasurable imprint on the Lakewood community.
Hatzolah responders rushed to Rav Mattisyahu’s home on Tuesday night when he became ill, however they were unable to resuscitate him.
Rav Mattisyahu zt”l was born in Gateshead, England. He learned for 16 years in yeshiva and Kollel with Rabbi Chaim Kaufman. He also studied under Rav Elyah Lopian zt”l, and it is reported that although he only spent a short time under his guidance, Rav Lopian had a profound impact on him.
Rav Mattisyahu was appointed mashgiach at Gateshead Yeshiva under Rav Moshe Schwab zt”l before becoming senior mashgiach.
In 1998, after more than 30 years in his position in Gateshead, following the petirah of BMG mashgiach Rav Nosson Wachtfogel zt”l, Rav Mattisyahu was asked to assume that position. He moved with his family to Lakewood.

All official sites info including wikipedia manufactured straight from the same pravda editor
Pretty sure also he wasn't born in Gateshead
His parents had a boarding cottage or something at the seashore.
