Matthew Perry has passed away aged 54 in a suspected accidental drowning at his home jacuzzi. The Friends actorโs passing has shocked fans and his celeb pals as it comes after he recently published his memoir telling how he had overcome drink and drug addictions that almost left him dead.
Finding fame for playing Chandler Bing on Friends, Matthew is thought to have drowned in a jacuzzi, according to a report from TMZ, while one of his close pals told the Daily Mail his closest pals are in a state of โtotal shock.โ
The outlet reported sources said he โdied at his own house after some physical activityโ on Saturday, October 28 morning, and medics were called to his home to respond to an apparent heart attack incident.
TMZ added, โWeโre told Matthew came home sometime after a two-hour round of pickleball, and that he sent his assistant out on errand shortly thereafter. Weโre told when the assistant returned about two hours later, he discovered Matthew unresponsive and called 911.โ
TMZโs sources said emergency workers โrushed over on a call for cardiac arrest,โ and it is unclear where exactly on the grounds of the actorโs house he was found dead. But insiders revealed he was found in a jacuzzi at his mansion. They also said there were no drugs found at the scene, and no foul play was involved.
The actor was last seen at a restaurant called The Apple Pan in Los Angeles, where he appeared downcast despite being out with friends. Matthewโs final post on Instagram eerily showed him enjoying a dip in what seemed to be a jacuzzi. The caption read, โOh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? Iโm Mattman.โ
