Damn. Could this BE more upsetting? No.
He had a lot of issues, what a sad story. He'll be missed.

Really sad to hear it. After everything he went through and seeing him talk about it with Diane Sawyer it sounded like he'd finally gotten to a good place in his life.

So drowning from OD or heart attack from drug use?

Oh no. This is terrible. I loved him on Friends and I watched all of his new shows that would only last for a season or two.

Sad, but I kind of expected it at some point (although more drug-relapse related). Can't remember if I had him in the dead pool, but I know I was thinking of including him.

Re: Matthew Perry (Friends) Dead at 54 from Apparent Drowning
When I was a kid I used to spent a lot of time in the summers wondering around the studios and it was when Friends was in it's beginning years and my sister was a huge fan so when she asked what time they had lunch and what not shed always drag me over there to try to get to see them, Perry started to notice and he'd wave and he'd ask how we were and stuff like that. Always made my sister's day and for that I'll always think of him as a real cool guy.

He was my favorite on Friends. It sucks that he had such a hard time throughout his life, only to reach a good place, and then this happens. That Friends reunion wil ultimately be the last time we see the entire cast together. RIP, Matthew Perry. You were a comedic genius.

Shocking news. He was the funniest cast member on Friends. Never understood why he didn't become a bigger star.

Very sad news. His past year or so of coming out to talk about the troubles in his life inspired a lot of people.l, a real comeback story. A tragic ending to it all. From what I know, that Friends crew is really tight, that will be tough for his family and his Friends family, indeed.

I am rewatching Scrubs on Peacock and his episode is a recent one that I just watched, and it was such a fun episode. He will be missed. RIP.

Re: Matthew Perry (Friends) Dead at 54 from Apparent Drowning
Sad to hear. I know I may be in the minority here but I didn't think he looked very good when he was making the rounds on the talk shows during his book tour late last year. He looked uncomfortable (my opinion) with the attention he was getting throughout. Add in the Keanu Reeves comment/slip-up and it seemed to me that he wasn't quite ready to be doing that yet. A real shame that he's gone so soon. Hopefully he's found some peace now.

Wow, IMDB shows that he hadn’t worked in 6 years. I had no clue he had not worked that long. There was a period of time where he was getting lead TV jobs all the time. And many of those only lasted 1-2 seasons.
