Matthew Perry, who portrayed Chandler Bing in the acclaimed sitcom “Friends,” died at his Pacific Palisades home on October 29, 2023, at the age of 54. A medical call was received from Perry’s home at around 4 p.m. reporting that the actor was not breathing. When paramedics arrived, they found Perry unresponsive in a hot tub, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death has not been determined yet, and the Los Angeles County coroner’s office has launched an investigation, which will likely take months and include toxicology tests. No illicit drugs were found at the home, and no foul play is suspected. Perry was candid about his struggles with addiction, including a near-death experience in 2019 after his colon burst as a result of his use of opioids.
