From the article, talking about the last show he did, after a 3-year run ...
Perry tweeted he found out it was being cancelled when he arrived on set and discovered his face on the stage door had been painted over with green paint.
That's cold that his agent didn't tell him beforehand.
One has to wonder about the medical issues he was experiencing in the past couple of years were.
I'm pretty sure addiction doesn't make one healthier or younger so you wonder what type of damage has incurred over the years of his struggles. Perhaps he had heart issues or something else that will surface in the hours and says ahead.
Still sad to hear he's passed. Money can make some things easier in life without a doubt but it can't fix everything it seems.
It was possibly a heart attack that caused him to drown, which wouldn't be much of a shock considering his painkiller abuse, known to cause heart problems. No drugs or alcohol on site, but it's not like his addictions didn't leave a lasting impact.
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.
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.
This is my first celeb death that is surreal and weird and just generally feels wrong like this person should always exist in the background. I really hope that his story brings some lessons and guidance for others. And i hope that those who knew and loved Matthew find a soothing peace in the coming days and months.
Have you seen The Whole Nine Yards or The Whole Ten Yards? He stars in them, alongside Bruce Willis, Amanda Peet, and other notables. Very funny mafia-comedy set of movies.
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.
God damn it, this really sucks. First it was Robin Williams, then it was Bob Saget, and now it's Matthew Perry. Stop taking my 90s funny men away from me!
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.
