The actor was very careless, he consumed drugs, he smoked a lot, he was very heavy and he consumed alcohol, surely an overdose of alcohol or drugs must have happened to him while he was in the jacuzzi.

Could be same thing as Cranberries lead singer - alcohol intoxication and just fell asleep.

Tragic news

 

[Ammogeddon]

This is sad news to wake up to. Rest in peace.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

The OP story says no drugs were found, so that probably rules out being drugged up and passing out in the jacuzzi. I'll take a guess is he was drunk and passed out. Celebs seem to have a knack for passing out in tubs.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

I send my solidarity and respect... Although I always disliked the series Friends and Chandler.

 

[kittoo]

I literally said holy shit while reading this news. Too soon my man, too soon.
RIP Chandler.

 

[Embearded]

Sad news.
Rest in peace Matthew, your legacy as Chandler will be here forever with us, thank you for this great performance.

 

[ahtlas7]

I saw him recently debating (poorly) regarding substance abuse support. I’m glad he cleaned himself up and was trying to help others do the same. extremely honorable. RIP brother.

 

[DKehoe]

That’s horrible. Condolences to his family.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Too soon, rest in peace. He'll be missed.

 

[tamago84]

jeez...insane. 54. 5 fucking 4.

 

[Robot Carnival]

he's the highlight of the show and the one I like the most. such a shame that we lost him so soon. RIP

 

[Denton]

I only watched friends two years ago, and absolutely loved it, and Chandler was the best one.

This is heartbreaking. Rest in peace, legend

 

[-Minsc-]

Oh wow, didn't expect this. RIP.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Wtf....rip

 

[GymWolf]

Damn, rip.

 

[FunkMiller]

Incredibly sad, but unfortunately another one that’s not all that surprising. Perry had a life long struggle with drugs and alcohol, and that takes a toll on the body and the mind.

RIP.

 

[Forsete]

RIP

 

[IDKFA]

Sad news. He was excellent in Friends and by far the best character.

RIP, Matthew.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Damn bruh... what the hell. RIP.

The One Where No One Was Surprised

 

[RJMacready73]

RIP, friends was such a staple in the 90's, I'd chill out on the sofa all day Sunday coming down from a hard Saturday nite clubbing and this show never failed to make me laugh, proper wholesome daft comedy

 

[SJRB]

Easily my favorite Friends character, a master of sarcasm and comedic timing. Dude has led a haunted life.

Tbf at that age with that amount of fame coming in along with unlimited money, fuck I'd be the same, just a pity he couldn't pull through it like the rest of them

 

[Nankatsu]

Just the other day was zapping and watched a couple of Friends episodes, because it's just one of those series you can easily have a laugh without having a clue what's going on.

Matthew was a damn funny guy and a blast to watch but that drug abuse really haunted him.

RIP champ.

 

[Radioskugga]

Really sad to pass away at that age. Thanks for all the laughs Matthew, rest in peace.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Reminder to avoid hot tubs for the rest of my life.

 

[StueyDuck]

It was a huge shock waking up from one of the drunkest nights I've had in... well 4 years to this really sad news.

Was a real gut punch

 

[nkarafo]

30 years too early man

 

[Big Baller]

Damn. RIP

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[Chuck Berry]

Whaaaaaat the fuck man?!?!

 

[TGO]

This hurts, so sad.
He was easily my favourite.
R.I.P

 

[sono]

RIP

Unfortunately drowning the hot tub isnt that dignified end to an otherwise positive life, but we all got to shake off the mortal coil sometime.

 

[poppabk]

Every hot tub I have ever been in has a warning about not staying in too long and warnings about heart conditions. Hopefully he got lightheaded and then just drifted off.

 

[cormack12]

RIP man, such a great character with so much depth. Any of the friends lot made any statements?

 

[Sybrix]

Such a funny guy, really gonna miss him, RIP.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

RIP. So young to die.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Any of the friends lot made any statements?

Who's your main suspect?

 

[cormack12]

Who's your main suspect?

Phoebe. Proper shithead her.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Phoebe. Proper shithead her.

 

[SlimySnake]

He was the best friend. But i did get to appreciate Ross a lot more on re-runs. His character was downgraded in latter seasons after he was paired up with monica but the first season after they hook up is pure gold and every season before that was peak chandler. one of the funniest sitcom actors ever. RIP.

 

[SlimySnake]

Incredibly sad, but unfortunately another one that’s not all that surprising. Perry had a life long struggle with drugs and alcohol, and that takes a toll on the body and the mind.

RIP.

yep. he was addicted to drugs for decades and while he was sober the last few years, just like carrie fisher, the heart can only take so much.

pretty sure they said its a cardiac arrest.

 

[jufonuk]

Far too young. RIP

 

[JayK47]

Sad day. 2023 continues to deliver bad news. RIP.

 

[jufonuk]

RIP, friends was such a staple in the 90's, I'd chill out on the sofa all day Sunday coming down from a hard Saturday nite clubbing and this show never failed to make me laugh, proper wholesome daft comedy

Friends is a wholesome comedy, it doesn’t push any envelope but it is like a warm comfy jumpy

 

[Tieno]

Oh man, how devastating.
I was a massive Friends fan, it was the first show (together With The Simpsons) I really got into back in the early 90's.
Still remember discovering it while channelsurfing, I stumbled upon The Jill Goodacre scene, had to laugh so hard, kept watching ever since
I hope he's at peace.

 

[DeafTourette]

Not to divert the thread but Richard Moll also passed, sad day for classic comedy. You KNOW these legends are roasting Saint Pete as we speak.

Not Bull!!! Dammit!

I wasn't a fan of Friends. It wasn't funny, but Perry always seemed like a good guy... like a better person than "Ross", despite his addictions.
