Matthew Perry, a comic actor known for playing the sarcastic, boyishly charming and tightly wound Chandler Bing in the long-running sitcom “Friends,” was found dead Oct. 28 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 54.

Perry was discovered by a witness unresponsive in his hot tub at about 4 p.m. Saturday, Capt. Kelly Muniz of the Los Angeles police said in a statement Sunday. The Los Angeles City Fire Department responded and pronounced Perry dead on the scene, she said, adding that detectives from the LAPD’s robbery-homicide division investigated and found “no obvious signs of trauma.” The official cause of death is pending a coroner’s investigation, Muniz said. The coroner’s office confirmed the death on Sunday with an examination still pending.

"According to his 2022 memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” Mr. Perry spent at least $7 million on treatment and had 65 stints in detox beginning at the age of 26."

I saw a thread about this yesterday. Was he the one who played a dentist in a Bruce Willis movie? I didn’t really ever watch friends and I get their characters confused so I don’t know who “Chandler” is.

Anyway, RIP again.

Then FR needs to fix their search engine because nothing came up when I searched “Perry” and “Matthew”.

Not my fault.

I always saw Friends as the unfunny Bizarro Jerrys.

65 stints in detox

No. 15 stints in rehab. Still a lot but not 65.

If you used that format it wont work. Just use Matthew Perry and a bunch come up.

If you could line up every pill he ever took, one after the other, how long would that line be?

He had $120 million and could have had a great life.
He prefer drugs and alcohol. Plus he took the vaccine and campaigned for others to take the deadly shot.
The combo of drugs and the vaccine killed him.

My 30 something daughter like 'Friends', I didn't, it was too much about 'something' whereas 'Seinfeld' was more about yada-yada-yada.

Confirmed, “Safe and Effective,” by Matthew Perry!

‘FRIENDS’ STAR MATTHEW PERRY
DEAD AT 54 ...
After Apparent Drowning
https://www.tmz.com/2023/10/28/friends-star-matthew-perry-dead-dies-drowning/

“Law enforcement sources tell us the actor was found Saturday at an L.A.-area home ... where we’re told he appears to have drowned. Our sources say first responders rushed over on a call for cardiac arrest.”

He played pickleball, went into the jacuzzi, had a heart attack, and drown. Not sure if he died before drowning or after.

So he was having a heart attack, and they just let him drown in the jacuzzi?
