Friends Star Matthew Perry Dies After Apparent Drowning

Friends star Matthew Perry has died. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the actor was found Saturday at an L.A.-area home where it appears he drowned.

Sources also said that first responders were called to the location for cardiac arrest.

Perry was reportedly found in a jacuzzi at the home. Sources say there we no drugs found at the scene or evidence of foul play involved.

Perry was best known for his role as Chandler Bing on the popular ’90s sitcom, Friends, which ran for 10 seasons.

He has also starred or guest starred in several other TV shows throughout his career, including appearances in ‘Boys Will Be Boys,’ ‘Growing Pains,’ ‘Silver Spoons,’ ‘Charles in Charge,’ ‘Sydney,’ ‘Beverly Hills, 90210,’ ‘Home Free,’ ‘Ally McBeal,’ ‘The West Wing,’ ‘Scrubs,’ ‘Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,’ ‘Go On,’ ‘The Odd Couple’ and more.

Matthew suffered from an addiction to drugs and alcohol for years and did stints in rehab. He appeared to be clean and sober, but after he and the other cast members were plugging the ‘Friends’ reunion show, many said the actor appeared unwell and at times slurred his words.

He was 54.
