Passing of Matthew Perry

In the realm of entertainment, there are individuals who leave an indelible mark, forever etched in the annals of pop culture. Matthew Perry, a luminary of the screen, was one such figure. With his wit, charm, and magnetic presence, Perry captivated audiences around the world. From his iconic portrayal of Chandler Bing in the beloved sitcom ‘FRIENDS’ to his versatile performances on stage and screen, Perry’s talent knew no bounds. 

Days after Matthew Perry’s passing, there are still more questions than answers surrounding the investigation into his death, according to former medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden. Perry was found drowned in his bathtub on October 28th. The true cause of Perry’s death is still unknown even after an autopsy was conducted. No drugs were found at the scene and foul play is not assumed to be a factor.

Initial testing has proven that fentanyl and methanol were not present in Perry’s system. Unfortunately, Dr. Baden states that these two drugs are not the only probable causes: “The two important substances to refer to are the Vicodin, which is an opioid narcotic, and alcohol, which are the two things that he, according to his biography, got into the most trouble with.” According to Dr. Baden, however, the chances that Matthew Perry died due to natural causes are slim to none:

“If that were the cause of death – and people can have heart attacks while swimming or in hot tubs – they would have known right away.”

Matthew Perry was very public in his years-long battle with addiction, specifically to Vicodin and alcohol. Perry hoped to help others as well by publishing his autobiography which detailed the highs and lows of his uphill battle. After surgeries and rehab, Matthew Perry finally emerged victorious, and in an interview, a friend of his who met him a day before his passing described Perry as 100% sober. The truth of Matthew Perry’s death can only be found as more information emerges from his toxicology reports.

Matthew Perry’s legacy will forever serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration for those facing their own struggles.
