“Friends” star Matthew Perry died of an apparent drowning on Saturday, TMZ reported.

He was 54 years old.

The actor was found Saturday at a home in the Los Angeles area, law enforcement sources told the outlet.

First responders had received a call to the property for a person suffering cardiac arrest.

Perry rose to fame playing fan-favorite Chandler for 10 seasons on the immensely popular ’90s Sitcom “Friends.”

He had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse, which he has been candid about since getting sober, opening up about his addictions in a memoir he published last year.

Yes, sad to say it was a tragedy about to happen, ticking away in the background.

I don't think it's a good thing for anyone in their 50s to go on a sudden health trip, too much exercise at that age not good, considering all the health and addiction issues he'd had.

RIP.

Gutted, I was just watching the Friends reunion the other day and it was sad how terrified he said he always felt that people wouldn't laugh at his jokes and how much he needed that validation, especially knowing all the struggles he was going through during filming. It's amazing how he was still able to perform that role so perfectly. I watched him quite closely during the Reunion because of that and you could see the effects of those problems he'd had but it was also really touching how happy he was to see Matt Le Blanc again and how he talked about his relationship with the others

Even now Friends is such a comforting TV show for me and something I could still watch and laugh at any time. I'm glad he started to appreciate how massive his legacy was and how much that show meant to people

Agree with all this.

There's also so many times that my friends and I have recited friends scenes when we've been in certain situations.

He was the youngest out of the 6 too.

Jeez that's insane to me. I haven't properly watched Friends in years and tbh had kind of dismissed it as younger me having bad taste in comedy, but yeah this actually leaves me kind of sad. Chandler dead. Unreal.

That’s a shock

Oh ****ing hell that’s sad

Sadly yes.

Good on SkyNewsHD
reported his death

Thanks to the report from the new owners NBC

BBC Stuck on GAZA


CNN HD USA online
played a interview with Perry
but done well before he became Tubby

[user104658]

From what I've read he was apparently found in a jacuzzi, possible heart attack (which may not have been fatal, which is why cause of death would be drowning).

Very sad, 54 is no age at all really.

…there are some celebrity deaths that totally stun you, so devastating for all who knew and loved him……


…it’s said that the last post that he shared in social media was a photo of himself in a pool, with the words….

“Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I’m Mattman,” said the caption.


…one of his own quotes from his book….

“If I had to do it all over again, would I still audition for Friends? You bet your ass I would. Would I drink again? You bet your ass I would. If I didn’t have alcohol to soothe my nerves and help me have fun, I would have leaped off a tall building sometime in my twenties.”

…maybe not a long life but a life lived his way…

I just cannot bring myself to buy his book. There is no way I want to watch friends scenes thinking "oh during this scene he was badly hungover or in terrible pain. " Nope no sirry. Chandler will always be my sarcasm king second to none, the best.
