This is so tragic. I feel like I just lost a best friend after watching Friends repeatedly. Rest in Peace, Matthew.
I’ll be there for youuuu unless your in a hot tub
He must be on drugs and passed out in the hot tub.
@valueshooter heart failure he was a clot shot advocate
The Keanu reeves still alive comment came back for him
@valueshooter They said he’d just returned from 2 hours of pickleball. Then he went in the hot tub. Doing that puts people at risk for a heart attack or stroke. Same thing with doing intense exercise and then getting in a hot car.
My sister loved Friends so much, that she’d actually become annoyed if she missed clapping with the opening theme. This news brought her, and myself to tears. Matthew was such a likeable guy, but his struggles with alcohol hindered his ability to live a long life. RIP Matthew, thank you for all the laughs that you brought us, you’ll be forever loved and missed. *_We love you Chandler Bing_* ❤😭
I always did the clapping thing too! 😢
@Amy Pietersehow old are you? 😂
@QuagmireIt matters?
Everybody that grew up in a great “90s” household, did the clapping.
Chandler was my favorite and listening to his book I related so much to his addiction issues. ❤😞 he was only 14 years older than me!
Such devastating news. His book was truly inspiring but a very heartbreaking read. He grappled with some relentlessly brutal demons – from the crippling depression and anxiety that lead him into one addiction after the other. He soldiered on as best as he could, and he brought so much laughter and light to us all. His memory will live on forever through the iconic pieces he left behind – and I just hope and pray that he’s finally at peace now. RIP Matthew Perry – You will never be forgotten. #ripChandlerBing
He had enough. He’s free now. Free of all this BS
What happened to him? What was the main cause of his addiction?
“Finally at peace now? “Not if he never trusted the gospel of Christ and got saved. He had to trust Christ died for our sins, and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures (I Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB). You believe that and you go to heaven when you die. If you don’t believe/trust it, you pay for your own sins in the lake of fire for all eternity. I don’t wish that on anyone.
RIP Matthew. Everyone that knew you and loved you would miss you immensely.
Could I *BE* anymore vaccinated? 💉
I hope Matthew died happy and at peace with his life. He was so loved and talented; and I hope he knew that. Rest in peace Matthew you’re loved, and you will be missed. My heart is broken, and my condolences go out to Matthew’s friends, cast, and family.
I don’t think you can think he died happy & at peace when he was fighting addictions & died in a hot tub 😏
@WeLsHMeLlY He’s been sober f for years. Conspiracy theory much?
@Melichka WillowThere is always that one negative person trying to turn a nice comment into something to reply in a sarcastic way when all this writer wanted was to wish him peace. In case you can’t read between the lines, that’s you. Here. I’ll give it a shot…. “Rest in peace, Matthew Perry. Despite your battles in life, you have changed many lives for the better just with your struggles alone. I hope that you are now in a place with better people and a clearer mind.”
@carolinematusevich889 how does someone drown in a bathtub if drugs weren’t involved ?
@WaveRidercardiac arrest…stroke…..seizure…..?
Many of us knew of his addiction issues over the years, but after reading his book I realized how tortured he was by his addiction. He just couldn’t get a handle on it. Even after he finally quit, he was still tortured by his life. He is at peace now, probably for the first time in life. RIP Matthew Perry.
I met Mathew Perry several times through a foundation for individuals with disabilities. He was always extremely kind to my daughter. This is such difficult news.
I’m very sorry to hear this. ❤
I just hope you know my my deepest condolences to his family is so sad for somebody to die like this man I just hope it’s I hope that they say I hope it ain’t cuz if somebody you know the media likes to twist it around and they don’t get all the fact they don’t get all that you know the facts and everything he likes to twist stuff another good person is gone just like Suzanne Somers for three’s company you know so many good people are gone for no reason it’s so unfair 🙏 I’ll be saying a prayer for this man may the good Lord you know bless him and may God watch over his family I know they’re going through a lot right now just from hearing the news about the death of their loved one
