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.
‘People’ reported no drugs found on the scene. Original call was for cardiac arrest.

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.
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.
Damn, wasn’t expecting this one. RIP.
Is anyone surprised?
Cuz if you are, I’d love to talk to you about a bridge I’ve got for sale.
Hope he’s at Peace. Dude fought some demons, it’s a shame it ended this tragically.

This problem doesn’t go away when you refuse to engage with it.
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?
Canada
Damn, that’s young.
Microsoft should honor him by rotating photographs of him into all search results.
I think this went over my head…?
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.
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.
RIP, man. You had a rollercoaster life, but you will continue to make me laugh until I join you. Thank u!
Rest in peace.
The funniest people always seem to be the one who has the most pain in their hearts.
Gotta admit, I expected it to be related to his past drug/alcohol abuse. Drowning is a bit of a shock.
It was in a hot tub. My money is on drugs plus hot tub
It was a lap pool, not a hot tub. His home he bought last June lists a lap pool, no hot tub.
Looks hot tubby enough to me https://www.instagram.com/p/Cyuv2zDrL0r/
Damn, that was his last post. Pretty eerie. Seems like there are worse ways to go
Well, that confirms it. There’s no way a millionaire could have had a hot tub installed since last June!
Strange, the article from la times said hot tub
Twitter is saying it is a hot tub, lap pool combo.
Apparently his last Twitter/Instagram whatever post he showed off his new hot tub, so could be either I suppose.
I did not know what a lap pool was. This is a lap pool.
Sources online say it was a combo of a lap pool hot tub.
Neither did I, thanks for sharing!
Oh wow neither did I.
For some reason I thought it was a tiny shallow pool, like for toddlers to play in. Why would anyone even have one of those?!
A lap pool, for doing laps, makes so much more sense. I’ve lived in a house with a pool and it’s just a huge pain in the ass. Being able to bust a couple of laps would be great though. I’d love to have this.
Doesn’t really matter, does it? Not that most people, yours truly included, didn’t contemplate it. But the man’s dead, and that’s kinda it.
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.
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.
Little of column a, little of column b…
You’ve gotta be pretty fucked up to drown in a hot tub
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.

Oh man, really? Then what killed my mom?
Also, go get your heart checked out, bud.
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.
Huge part of my childhood. Kept hoping he’d turn things around, RIP.
Rest in peace my favorite fallout voice actor
I didn’t know that!
Wait, who did he do?
Benny from NV.
So no one told you life was gonna be this way…
RIP.

“if I did die it would shock people, but it wouldn’t surprise anybody.”
- Mathew Perry, 2022
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.
Sadly, very true.
He was a troubled man at points in his life, and that takes a toll.
Your lifes a joke.
You’re broke.
The soft serve’s on its wayyyy
Your love life’s DOA
👏👏👏👏

Drag. He seemed to be quite the tortured soul. Thanks for the entertainment, bud. Godspeed.
