Matthew Perry has died at the age of 54, TMZ has reported.

The beloved “Friends” star was reportedly discovered dead in the jacuzzi of a home in Los Angeles’ ritzy Pacific Palisades neighborhood just after 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that first-responders rushed to the address with the call first reported as a cardiac arrest.

They added that no drugs found at the scene and no foul play is suspected.

In a statement, the Los Angeles Police Department stated: “We responded to the 1800 block of Blue Sail Rd for a death investigation on a male 4:10 pm this afternoon. He was in his 50s.”

Perry had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse, and opened up about his addictions in a memoir titled “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,” which was published last year.

The heat causes a drop in blood pressure and could lead to light headedness and fainting.

Long term drug abuse will do that. My middle brother, a longtime alcoholic, die of a heart attack after 3 weeks of hospitalization and rehab in a nursing home. How sad he died in a Jacuzzi. Most likely had a sever MI and drowned in 2 feet of water.

It sucks! I loved Friends. Every Thursday night I watched. The ultimate worst part of this is his parents are still alive. Now that’s gut wrenching.

It was a wholesome show. No brother sister action.

No adult drowns in a hot tub unless there is something else going on. A medical issue? Maybe so.

How many Covid vaccines did he get and had he received a booster in the past few days?

“Years ago I sat in a hot tub too long…..I could not stand up to get out without help .

Frightening “


Maybe he had Hypoglycemia? I’ve read that hot baths lowers ones glucose levels to the point it could cause someone with undiagnosed hypoglycemia to pass out if their levels drop too low.

Of course, there is always drugs as the culprit. Many in Hollywood use drugs much like many eat M&Ms candy.

Yup. It may, or may not have caught up with him. These days, it's a valid thing to point out.
