I saw this a couple of hours ago. On one hand, shocking. On the other hand, not that shocking if you know his history. 

On a personal note, he was about 6 months younger than me. Whenever people my age die like this, it's always a shock to the system and brings my own mortality to mind.

Don't tell me that! I just cut my grass yesterday! :ph34r:

Today, I had to crawl under one my Japanese Maples to cut out some wild trees that were growing up and overtaking the Japanese Maple.

After hearing about Perry, my mother told me basically the same thing (seriously).

But yeah, I do my best. As disturbing as it is that someone my age (Matthew Perry) died, he lived a bit of a hard life in terms of substance abuse/misuse.

My wife actually cried on Saturday night a little bit over this.  We've had friends on repeat on Max in our living room for about 4 years now while she works remote.  I think I've literally seen the show from start to finish about 100 times.

It gets hate sometimes but it really was a funny show

RIP.  So young.  I hope he didn't relapse.  He sure did torture his body.  Thinking his cause of death may be related to that.  Problem with his colon, liver, or his heart.

I emailed a friend who is also a Friends fan and told her this... and apparently, I did know this previously because she mentioned that I'd told her this multiple years ago... I have no memory of that, though lol.

Yeah, but what caused him to drown? Heart Attack? Some sort of prescription drug that caused him to sleep, like Whitney Houston? Something else? That (the drug thing), was my first thought when I heard the news and that he'd drowned.

My money is on drugs.  Hell, this is what he was up to in 2020 according to Wiki

Quote

while attending rehab in Switzerland, Perry faked pain to get a prescription of 1,800 milligrams of Oxycontin per day and was having daily ketamine infusions. He was given propofol in conjunction with a surgery, which stopped his heart for five minutes. The resulting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) resulted in eight broken ribs. He paid $175,000 for a private jet to take him to Los Angeles to get more drugs. When doctors there refused, Perry spent another $175,000 to take a private jet back to Switzerland.

Yeah, that's my thinking too. But he was apparently in really bad health due to all of the abuse over the decades, so I don't rule out a 'natural' cause, like heart attack. Of course, all of that abuse likely would have led to that, even if he wasn't abusing anything lately.

I guess we'll find out one day.  I thought the cardiac arrest is what finally got him sober.  Not saying he didn't relapse, but he was in poor health for someone his age.  Read that he played pickleball that day.
