According to TMZ‘s report, he was found in a jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home where he apparently drowned. First responders took action for a cardiac arrest. The report suggested that no drugs were found at the home which indicated that there was no foul play involved.
Law Enforcement Sources Received a 911 Call About Matthew Perry’s Death at 4.07 AM
The Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson told PEOPLE that they got a call regarding the demise of a man in his fifties, but the confirmation of the deceased’s identity was yet to be confirmed at the time.
Meanwhile, NBC News reported that law enforcement received a call about a “water emergency” of an unknown type at 4.07 a.m. The first responders in this incident went to Pacific Palisades based on a 911 call, but no one was taken to a hospital.
Meanwhile, in the same TMZ report, the outlet reported about Perry arriving home in the morning after a 2-hour Pickleball round. A little later, he sent his assistant out for an errand, who discovered him “unresponsive…and called 911″ after he returned about two hours later.
While FRIENDS brought him to global prominence, he has numerous other TV shows under his belt like Boys Will Be Boys, Growing Pains, Sydney, Beverly Hills, 90210, and Silver Spoons. He also made several appearances on the big screen such as Fools Rush In, Almost Heroes, The Whole Nine Yards, The Ron Clark Story, and 17 Again among others.
While his iconic portrayals hold a special place in our hearts, his involvement in several philanthropic endeavors is another addition to the indelible legacy that he left for the world.
