    Gotta admit, I expected it to be related to his past drug/alcohol abuse. Drowning is a bit of a shock.

      Apparently drowning in a hot tub, while it could be from any number of things, screams possible drug or alcohol involvement.

        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 have to be pretty fucked up to die of dehydration in a hot tub. I’d imagine dehydration makes you pretty fucking thirsty.

          I guess I wouldn’t know because I have never been in a hot tub or dehydrated? I don’t have much in common with Perry beyond not remembering the 90s. I was too young, he was too high.

        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.

      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.

            Maybe he is not from the US, like me. Outside the US people don’t immediately think of opioids when someone says painkiller. They are not prescribed nearly as much. Maybe not at all where I am from.

            What a stupid response. I don’t know your mom. How long did your mom abuse painkillers? What are the dosages and frequencies she took them at? Did she ever get clean and if so how long had she been abusing them and how long had she been clean? Was she a polysubstance abuser? Did your mom have any cardiac conditions of note? Did she take any medications? Familial history? You see what im getting at with how dumb your response was? I did get my heart checked out and I got my heart rate up to 138 and ran 15 minutes longer than I needed to and the cardiologist/lipidologist told me in his career of over 40 years I’m only the second time he’s ever seen someone’s heart not skip a single beat. I could still go the way of Matthew Perry/your mom. You never know. Pain killer abuse varies a fuck ton. So many other things come into play when we’re talking heart attacks.

      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.

    Rest in peace.

    The funniest people always seem to be the one who has the most pain in their hearts.

    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.

    Friends was my gateway into the USA-fetishizing trend prevalent in my country in the 1990s. Was a pretty great comedy ngl though.
