Perry was found dead Saturday in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home, law enforcement sources told the LA Times. Authorities found him unresponsive around 4 p.m, and there was no signs of foul play or drugs on the scene.

Perry gained international recognition for his role as Chandler on “Friends,” which ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004. He received a Primetime Emmy nomination in 2002 for his performance in the beloved sitcom.

NBC’s “Friends,” a show about six pals living in New York in their 20s and 30s, became one of the most popular TV shows of all time.

An average of 25 million people tuned into each new episode, and the series finale drew 52.5 Americans, making it the fifth highest-viewed series finale ever and the most-watched TV episode of the 2000s.

No drugs were found at the scene, but a source told The Times prescription medications were recovered at the home, and so toxicology will be part of the investigation. The cause of death will be determined at a later date by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. The actor released a best-selling memoir last year – Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing – where he shared his decades-long addiction to alcohol and opiates. Rest in peace, Matthew Perry. https://twitter.com/wareagleblonde/status/1718440662272504245
