From where he is now, it must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck.
Thing is, the game was rigged from the start.
I don’t know, if my run ends after being rich and famous and fucking around in a hot tub, I’m pretty sure you don’t get to complain.
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.
Wow, the end of a true era now that one of them is gone. :(
Friends was my gateway into the USA-fetishizing trend prevalent in my country in the 1990s. Was a pretty great comedy ngl though.
Which country?

RIP, man. You had a rollercoaster life, but you will continue to make me laugh until I join you. Thank u!
Damn, that’s young.
RIP to one funny guy. I really never was into Friends, but my wife is a huge fan, and over the years, I’ve come to enjoy them as well.
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.
I never got into Friends either but he was awesome in Studio 60 In The Sunset Strip, and for as panned as it was Almost Heros is one of my guilty pleasure movies to this day. RIP
I don’t know either of those. I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks!
He was also the lead in Fallout New Vegas, baby
Oh shit why did I just realize that now?
Got that free from Epic a little while ago. Guess it’s a good time to start it up for the first time.
There’s an exe patch on Nexus that let you use mods for that version. I have it too and it’s great fun modded.
Definitely! It’s a blast and a half.
Yes! Really funny movies!
Huge part of my childhood. Kept hoping he’d turn things around, RIP.
Could this BE any more of a drag.
RIP
Yeah this one landed better
?
👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the laughs 😢
He drowned in a lap pool, not a jacuzzi as being reported.
Correction, Twitter says it was a hot tub, lap pool combo.
Heart attack? As much as this sucks I hope it wasn’t drug induced.
I can’t imagine his heart didn’t take damage from years of drug abuse, even if he died sober
Could have fallen by accident, cramped up, caught in the rope, or any number of things.
For sure. People are going to speculate but literally any number of things could do it.
I’d put suicide or overdose low on my list but again we just don’t know.
According to the TMZ article, he played pickleball for 2 hours before this happened. My money is on his ticker going.
Yeah basically around 50 you’re just at the mercy of sudden death as a possible outcome. It can happen before of course but I’d say 50 onward it’s just on the table as possibly the way you go.
We can reduce certain risks, but you can never remove it completely. Even if you take care of yourself it’s always possible just some random shit happens. Sucks, definitely anyone dying before age 65 is a tragedy.
Yeah basically around 50 you’re just at the mercy of sudden death as a possible outcome.
True, and I am very aware of this as a 50+ male. But Perry has been in acoma and lost past of his intestines a few years back due to substance and alcohol abuse, as well as suffered a recent heart attack related to his addicitons. So he stacked the deck widely to his own detriment.
For sure. Hard drugs will Fuck you up big time.
‘People’ reported no drugs found on the scene. Original call was for cardiac arrest.
That kind of makes me laugh, I bet if he had drugs, they were good ones. The cops are like, “Nope, no drugs here.”
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.
Rest in peace.
The funniest people always seem to be the one who has the most pain in their hearts.
So no one told you life was gonna be this way…
RIP.

- Mathew Perry, 2022
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.

Your lifes a joke.
You’re broke.
Your love life’s DOA
The soft serve’s on its wayyyy
Microsoft should honor him by rotating photographs of him into all search results.
I think this went over my head…?
Matthew and Jennifer Aniston did a Microsoft 95 commercial.
His most famous character was also named Chandler Bing
I think you mean Ms. Chanandler Bong.
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.
RIP. My favorite actor from Friends.
He was the only one that was a truely funny person without a script.
Chandler was the best character by a landslide.
Phoebe was a close second. Chandler was the funniest character and actor.
Phoebe, Chandler, Joey. That’s the real dream team!

I reckon Joey >
ChandlerChanandler Bong > Phoebe > Ross >RachaelRacheum > GuntherWow, you hate Monica so much she doesn’t even appear in the list? I’d put Monica above Phoebe, personally. And Ross is by far the worst.
Early season Monica was alright, but flanderisation saw her go to diddly-shit
They all flanderised. From the bits of early series I’ve seen Joey was normal intelligence, Ross was more chill, Rachel wasn’t as vacuous.
Works sometimes.
Could this be any more sad? :(
Oh absolutely.
