According to an article published by the Huffington Post, Mathew and Michael Clark were reportedly diagnosed with terminal leukodystrophy: a disease stricken by Brad Pitt in the 2008 film entitled “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” Ostensible symptoms of the aforementioned disease entail the loss of cognitive thinking coupled with loss of ability to behave as adults.
