'Friends' Star Matthew Perry Dead at 54 After Apparent Drowning

?

*shite ftfy 😂

I had this sinking feeling that they might come up with more information.

It was a lap pool, not a hot tub. His home he bought last June lists a lap pool, no hot tub.

Doesn't really matter, does it? Not that most people, yours truly included, didn't contemplate it. But the man's dead, and that's kinda it.

Yeah... It's possibly not, but the overwhelming probability is drugs.

Addiction is a disease. I'm sad to see him go.

Ehh not really. Dehydration alone could cause you to pass out in a hot tub when you think you're just really relaxed.

You've gotta be pretty fucked up to drown in a hot tub

If you've got low blood pressure, could be naturally that way or medication can cause it, you can pass out fast in a hot tub. I can't go in them for that reason.

great episode. I honestly think of it often.

I think it's just a Hollywood cliche with enough truth it plays out in the real world here and there. a lot of the show was a commentary on LA culture and how it'll swallow people.

there are a lot of parallels here but I'm sure it's a coincidence, but it shows how right the series got it.

that show really hit me. I feel really bad for Matthew Perry, I didn't know anything about his struggles until now and it's really sad. the world really eats some people alive.

I always thought that it was David Duchovny, but I guess that it could be Matthew Perry, or a combination.

Shut the fuck up Benny, if ya keep yapping ill crucify you.

Steve Irwin

Anthony Bourdain.

Robin Williams

This one still hurts.

Anthony Bourdain for me

They were sad and deep losses to the industry. I still can't bring myself to watch a a Robin Williams film.

But for whatever reason none of them had given me this sort of what feeling. That's all.

they're big names but this guy feels like your neighbor down the street

Kids probably 22 and doesn't know those names

Robin Williams, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Bourdain, Chris Cornell...Amy Winehouse...

Could they be any more in their 30s?

My back hurts but I can still bend my knees

That's like your favorite uncle dyingv

Phoebe was a close second. Chandler was the funniest character and actor.

He was also the lead in Fallout New Vegas, baby

Yes! Really funny movies!

Benny from NV.

Sadly, very true.

He was a troubled man at points in his life, and that takes a toll.

There's a part of me that's kind of happy for an addict when they pass away.

The sad thing is having to live with addiction in a country where it's stigmatized.

You're broke.

If he was in a too-hot hot tub and already warm from a workout it can be deadly. My parents had a hot tub and were warned not to be in it at high temperatures for long.

Could have fallen by accident, cramped up, caught in the rope, or any number of things.

'People' reported no drugs found on the scene. Original call was for cardiac arrest.

I can't imagine his heart didn't take damage from years of drug abuse, even if he died sober

Matthew and Jennifer Aniston did a Microsoft 95 commercial.

Microsoft ad is probably the real reason, but also Microsoft's search engine shares the last name of the character Matthew Perry played on friends.

i am pretty sure you have a reason to complain after this... money isn't everything.

Mr. Perry first went to rehab in 1997 for what was described in news reports as an addiction to pain medication. In 2000, he was hospitalized for pancreatitis, an inflammation that can be caused by alcohol and drug abuse.

His addiction led to a series of complications in 2018 that included pneumonia, an exploded colon, a brief stint on life support, two weeks in a coma, nine months with a colostomy bag and more than a dozen stomach surgeries.
