For those that don't want to read that article that looks like it was written by a teenage intern -
THANK YOU! I read almost the whole thing before finally giving up, thinking "what the fuck is this site"!
*shite ftfy 😂
Dies from possible drowning.
TMZ: New details are surfacing about Matthew Perry's death
I had this sinking feeling that they might come up with more information.
From the article, talking about the last show he did, after a 3-year run ...
Perry tweeted he found out it was being cancelled when he arrived on set and discovered his face on the stage door had been painted over with green paint.
That's cold that his agent didn't tell him beforehand.
Gotta admit, I expected it to be related to his past drug/alcohol abuse. Drowning is a bit of a shock.
One has to wonder about the medical issues he was experiencing in the past couple of years were.
I'm pretty sure addiction doesn't make one healthier or younger so you wonder what type of damage has incurred over the years of his struggles. Perhaps he had heart issues or something else that will surface in the hours and says ahead.
Still sad to hear he's passed. Money can make some things easier in life without a doubt but it can't fix everything it seems.
Apparently drowning in a hot tub, while it could be from any number of things, screams possible drug or alcohol involvement.
Yeah... It's possibly not, but the overwhelming probability is drugs.
Addiction is a disease. I'm sad to see him go.
You've gotta be pretty fucked up to drown in a hot tub
Ehh not really. Dehydration alone could cause you to pass out in a hot tub when you think you're just really relaxed.
You've gotta be pretty fucked up to drown in a hot tub
If you've got low blood pressure, could be naturally that way or medication can cause it, you can pass out fast in a hot tub. I can't go in them for that reason.
Little of column a, little of column b...
Can I just say I saw this on lemmy before anything. Nice job keeping up with the news!
back in the 90s I was in a very famous teeeeveeeee showww
Is he who Bojack horseman paralleled? Or is it just a common trope.
I think it's just a Hollywood cliche with enough truth it plays out in the real world here and there. a lot of the show was a commentary on LA culture and how it'll swallow people.
there are a lot of parallels here but I'm sure it's a coincidence, but it shows how right the series got it.
that show really hit me. I feel really bad for Matthew Perry, I didn't know anything about his struggles until now and it's really sad. the world really eats some people alive.
I always thought that it was David Duchovny, but I guess that it could be Matthew Perry, or a combination.
Ugh
This is my first celeb death that is surreal and weird and just generally feels wrong like this person should always exist in the background. I really hope that his story brings some lessons and guidance for others. And i hope that those who knew and loved Matthew find a soothing peace in the coming days and months.
Really? Not Alan Rickman, Bob Saget, David Bowie, or Robin Williams?
Steve Irwin
Anthony Bourdain.
Robin Williams
This one still hurts.
They were sad and deep losses to the industry. I still can't bring myself to watch a a Robin Williams film.
But for whatever reason none of them had given me this sort of what feeling. That's all.
Anthony Bourdain for me
they're big names but this guy feels like your neighbor down the street
Kids probably 22 and doesn't know those names
I'm doing my best to be unhealthy so I die before Weird Al. I won't be able to handle it.
That's like your favorite uncle dyingv
People are allowed to feel their feelings
Shit. This sucks. RIP, Benny from New Vegas
Drag. He seemed to be quite the tortured soul. Thanks for the entertainment, bud. Godspeed.
Rest in peace my favorite fallout voice actor
Wait, who did he do?
Benny from NV.
I didn't know that!
So no one told you life was gonna be this way...
RIP.
"if I did die it would shock people, but it wouldn’t surprise anybody."
Sadly, very true.
He was a troubled man at points in his life, and that takes a toll.
There's a part of me that's kind of happy for an addict when they pass away.
The sad thing is having to live with addiction in a country where it's stigmatized.
👏👏👏👏
Damn I thought he was entering his personal renaissance. That's awful.
Wow, the end of a true era now that one of them is gone. :(
damn. that's a lot to happen in a day.
Username checks out.
Nothing ever happens
Could this be any more sad? :(
Oh absolutely.
RIP, man. You had a rollercoaster life, but you will continue to make me laugh until I join you. Thank u!
He drowned in a lap pool, not a jacuzzi as being reported.
Correction, Twitter says it was a hot tub, lap pool combo.
If he was in a too-hot hot tub and already warm from a workout it can be deadly. My parents had a hot tub and were warned not to be in it at high temperatures for long.
Could have fallen by accident, cramped up, caught in the rope, or any number of things.
'People' reported no drugs found on the scene. Original call was for cardiac arrest.
I can't imagine his heart didn't take damage from years of drug abuse, even if he died sober
God damn it, this really sucks. First it was Robin Williams, then it was Bob Saget, and now it's Matthew Perry. Stop taking my 90s funny men away from me!
Microsoft should honor him by rotating photographs of him into all search results.
Thanks for the laughs 😢
Huge part of my childhood. Kept hoping he’d turn things around, RIP.
Friends was my gateway into the USA-fetishizing trend prevalent in my country in the 1990s. Was a pretty great comedy ngl though.
Which country?
Canada
Damn wtf, this sucks. He was awesome. He was the best character on Friends for sure.
From where he is now, it must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck.
Thing is, the game was rigged from the start.
I don't know, if my run ends after being rich and famous and fucking around in a hot tub, I'm pretty sure you don't get to complain.
i am pretty sure you have a reason to complain after this... money isn't everything.
Mr. Perry first went to rehab in 1997 for what was described in news reports as an addiction to pain medication. In 2000, he was hospitalized for pancreatitis, an inflammation that can be caused by alcohol and drug abuse.
His addiction led to a series of complications in 2018 that included pneumonia, an exploded colon, a brief stint on life support, two weeks in a coma, nine months with a colostomy bag and more than a dozen stomach surgeries.
Damn, wasn't expecting this one. RIP.
Bing is the best character in Friends, and his story line with Monica is the best.
Rest in peace.
The funniest people always seem to be the one who has the most pain in their hearts.
Memory eternal
Is anyone surprised?
Cuz if you are, I'd love to talk to you about a bridge I've got for sale.
Hope he's at Peace. Dude fought some demons, it's a shame it ended this tragically.
This problem doesn't go away when you refuse to engage with it.
Could this BE any more of a drag.
RIP
👏👏👏👏
Yeah this one landed better
