Matthew Perry, best known for his role as Chandler Bing, the king of sarcasm in Friends, was found dead in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home on October 28. The cause of his death remains inconclusive, as no signs of meth or fentanyl were found during an initial postmortem examination. Further tests are underway, and a conclusive update is not expected for “four to six months.”

Perry had been open about his struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. In his 2022 memoir, he candidly shared his journey towards sobriety. By June 2022, after 15 stints in rehab and therapy, he described himself as “pretty healthy” and expressed a strong motivation to help others facing similar challenges.

Recently, all five members of the core Friends cast paid tribute to their late co-star, sharing cherished memories of Perry. Lisa Kudrow, who portrayed the lovable and scatterbrained Phoebe, shared a never-before-seen Polaroid photo of herself and Perry on Instagram, completing the heartfelt tributes.
