It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the sudden loss of beloved actor Matthew Perry, who passed away on October 28. Known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing in the hit TV show Friends, Perry brought joy and laughter to millions of people around the world. However, behind his comedic genius, he struggled with a years-long battle with addiction.

In his memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” which he bravely released last year, Perry opened up about his personal fight against addiction. He shared the challenges he faced and the immense effort he put into staying sober.

On that fateful day, Perry was found unresponsive in the hot tub at his LA home. Despite efforts to revive him, medical professionals declared him deceased upon arrival. The circumstances surrounding his passing are currently under investigation.

The Los Angeles county medical examiner recently provided details about Perry’s cause of death. It was revealed that he died from the acute effects of ketamine, a powerful anesthetic. Contributing factors included drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine, a medication used to treat opioid use disorder. His death has been ruled accidental.

Despite his personal struggles, Perry had shown great determination in turning his life around in recent years. Close friends have attested to his sobriety leading up to his passing. It is truly a tragedy to lose such a talented individual who had so much more to offer.
