Matthew Perry, ‘Friends’ star, dead at 54

I don't know where he is, but he's not in that poor ravaged body. I was with my father when he died and a few seconds after his last breath he was sooo not there.
that was precisely my experience of my mum.. there was absolutely no evidence of my mum in that Cold clammy body when I saw her. It was almost like someone had made a statue of my mother.. she was not in there...
 

Travel well and rest in peace Matthew Perry ~~~

It is recommended by experts that one should not stay in a hot tub for more than 20-30 minutes as the temperature of the water in the hot tub is often in the range of 100-104 degrees F. Such a high temperature can be harmful to a person resulting in nausea, dizziness, fever, and in extreme cases even death.
After being out in the sun in the am and then in the tub by early afternoon I wonder if he overheated got dehydrated and passed out. In some of the final pictures of him over the last year he did not look healthy. He looked really tired, poor muscle tone etc. Looks like the addictions and surgeries on his body took their toll

RIP
 
I saw an interview with him when his book came out. I found him charming and handsome and very brave to be so up front with his struggles. And if it was an act he played it just right.
 

he drowned in his Jacuzzi.... !!:eek:

Law enforcement sources told the outlet the actor was found on Saturday at a home in Los Angeles after first responders were called to the scene for a cardiac arrest.

Sources claim he was found in a jacuzzi at the home but no drugs were found at the scene and there was no indication of foul play.


A source told the outlet that there was so sign of foul play, and that robbery-homicide detectives are investigating his death.

In his last post to his Instagram, shared earlier this week, the star shared images of him in his pool, saying: 'Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I'm Mattman.'

Perry has been candid publicly about his problems with drugs and alcohol, having first went to rehab in 1997 for what was said to a pain medication addiction after a jet skiing accident.

Following this initial stint, he then went to rehab again in 2001 and 2011. He told an interviewer in 2016 that he doesn't remember filming three seasons of Friends.

A longtime friend of Perry’s - who was in recovery with him - told DailyMail.com: ‘Everyone is in a total state of shock. People are crying on the phone and struggling to accept this news.
Cardiac arrest? Was he vaccinated? :unsure:
 
It was inevitable.
Sad but true. The back end catches up to people who abused their bodies when young. I know people with bp issues by mid 40s being a lifetime drinker and party drug consumer. They worked out and experimented with steroids. They wound up on 3 bp meds after a mini stroke before 50

Naturally aging is tough enough but the consequences/side effects of abuse even worse.

How very tragic that he couldn't confide in friends, family and fellow actors. This seems the case - if I have heard correctly.
None of us can know another's mental suffering unless we talk with them and listen.
Poor mans life was full of quiet pain. I think everyone is very shocked.

I did watch Friends years ago, it was very very good. If only they were all as healthy and happy in private as portrayed on screen.
 
I definitely liked him. It’s a darn shame he has died. I enjoyed the movie he made with Bruce Willis, “The Whole Nine Yards.” I thought he was funnier in the movie than he was in his TV series. The woman that played his wife in the movie was funny too.

he abused the meaning of the word abused.... if you read back you'll see some of the illnesses and disabilities he suffered during his drug taking years .What a great pity because his body kept going despite that serious abuse.. so potentially if he hadn't ever taken drugs or abused alcohol.. he might have lived with that strong constitution a very long life..
 
I don’t watch much TV and never sitcoms, but I was addicted to Friends. My daughter and I watched every episode, we bought the entire dvd set, watched over and over. It never got old.

She and I and several of our mutual friends who were similarly enchanted with the show use, to this day, different Friends quotes as part of our normal conversation it’s become so much a part of our lives.

Anyone remember these?

WE WERE ON A BREAK!
Pivot! PIVOT!!
He’s her lobster!
Joey doesn’t share food!
They don't know that we know they know we know.
How you doin?

Could I BE any sadder? 💔😭

In the TV news helicopter overhead shots of his home, I noticed that there was a white tent erected over the hot tub, which was located next to the large swimming pool. This would have been placed there by the Police to shade the area where the forensic technicians were working. So it seems that he was found in the hot tub. The toxicology report should be out in a few days, and the autopsy report should clear up the "cause of death ".

A statement from the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says "I remember with fondness our child hood games . He will be missed ". Apparently, Perry's mother was a Canadian born press officer for Justin's Father , Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and the boys played together as young kids in Ottawa. So Perry had dual US and Canadian citizenship. He was born in Williamstown, Massachusetts. JimB.
 
Very, very sad. His body was too weak to fight. R.I.P.
He probably had serious heart trouble because he did not look healthy in the final years of pictures. There were signs his body was retaining fluid, he looked tired, unfit/ little muscle or shape.

They also found prescription drugs at his house. Wether he took any is to be determined. I'm thinking somekind of dehydration or even heat stroke since it was the middle of the day and he was out in the morning playing pickle ball then hop in heated water not a good idea.
 
I remember reading he spent 9 million dollars on drugs and rehabs over the years. I think he had 17 trips to rehab. That being said he had to sell his mansion and penthouse apt and move into a 6 million dollar 3,000 sq ft 'cottage' with a hot tub, pool view oh the humanity.

Matthew Perry sold $35M in real estate, downsized to cottage where he was ‘very lonely’ in years before death

He's wasn't just an addict with money. Apparently went to open houses to check medicine cabinets for drugs. So he was a thief as well.
