Matthew Perry, the actor, died on October 28, leaving fans, family, and friends in mourning. Among the mourning were Perry’s Friends co-stars, who issued a joint statement following his passing. “We are all completely crushed by Matthew’s death. We were more than simply coworkers. In a unified statement, the cast added, “We are a family.” “There is so much to say, but for the time being, we’re going to grieve and process this incomprehensible loss.”
We will say more as we are able in the future. For the time being, our thoughts and prayers are with Matty’s family, friends, and everyone who loved him throughout the world.”Perry provided delight to millions of people around the world through his renowned performance as Chandler Bing. Unfortunately, despite making many others laugh, he was unable to assist himself in his years-long battle with addiction.
Perry opened up about his years-long battle with addiction in his memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, which was published last year.Perry was discovered lifeless in his hot tub at his Los Angeles home. When Perry’s secretary, whom he referred to as Erin in his biography, arrived home after doing errands, she discovered the actor’s head underwater, according to Captain Erik Scott of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
“When Los Angeles City Firefighters arrived, they discovered an adult male unconscious in a stand-alone hot tub.” “A bystander had brought the man’s head above the water and gotten him to the edge, and when firefighters arrived, they removed him from the water,” Captain Scott explained.”Unfortunately, the man died before first responders arrived, according to a rapid medical assessment.”
The LAPD and the LA County Medical Examiner are investigating the circumstances. “We grieve with families and friends who have lost a loved one unexpectedly,” he added.Prior to his death, Perry was said to have played a game of pickleball, which he loved. He was someone who struggled hard to break free from his habits and stay sober, spending over $7 million in the process, but it wasn’t always easy.
In fact, Perry used his personal experience to assist others in similar situations.The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office released information about Perry’s death on Friday, stating that the actor died of “acute effects of ketamine,” with contributing factors including “drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine” – which is used to treat opioid use disorder.
Perry’s close friends have indicated that the actor was clean and sober previous to his death, and Perry himself had demonstrated a clear wish to change his life in recent years. I believe I can speak for all of us when I say that Matthew Perry will be much missed. Thank you for all of the memories!
