His story is a very sad one really. Especially as, despite all of those demons and addictions, it seems he was totally harmless to everyone but himself. Which is very different to a lot of the "celebrities with demons" stories.

My daughter has his book actually, I might borrow it from her. She said the last line in it is "and I should be dead"

Apparently he had major health problems a few years ago and was given something like 5% odds of survival, including a cardiac arrest and needing his heart to be restarted. Unfortunately that almost always causes permanent damage to the heart so adding to the likelihood that he may have had a heart attack in the hot tub.

and the fact that he went out of his way to help people with similar addictions

…it’s been humming around in my head for a few days because I was thinking how much some of the lyrics of Friends feel so personal for Matthew Perry as well…

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year
I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

..I’m finding it incredibly emotional to listen to…💔…but bittersweet in what he’s said what Friends meant to his life and how it ‘saved him’ in his younger days….
