Matthew Perry was found dead in the jacuzzi of his LA home last Saturday. His assistant was out of the house to run errands when the unfortunate incident took place. An emergency call was made for a possible case of cardiac arrest, but the cause of his death, according to online reports, is “deferred.” Officials will now conduct further studies, which may take several weeks.
Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt Le Blanc, and Courteney Cox had previously released an official statement on Matthew Perry’s death. They were “devastated” to hear the news, as they mentioned they were not just friends but also family.
Yesterday, Friends director James Burrows, in a conversation with Today, revealed how Courteney, Jennifer, and Lisa were “destroyed” when they learned about Matthew’s death. He also mentioned that we should all remember him as a “wonderful actor, a funny man, and a dear friend to a lot of people.”
Matthew Perry played the iconic role of Chandler Bing in Friends.
Rest easy, Chandler Bing! You will be forever in our hearts.
