Not fanboying him or anything, esp since I never liked Friends. But this is an unexpected shocker that he died from drowning.

Found dead in his jacuzzi. First responders reportedly called for a cardiac arrest. Perhaps had heart attack and slid down underwater and drowned. Had something similar happen to a good friend in a bath tub with an undiagnosed heart murmur at 18 years old.

It is one reason to avoid hot tubs / jacuzzi’s as we age. Causes heart attacks in some people.

That has to be one of the most 💩 way to die.

He had an opiod and alcohol addiction problem that sent him to several stints in rehab. He has had severe medical problems related to these including gastrointestinal perforation. He had been fighting alot of mental and physical issues for years. Its unfortunate, but people with severe addiction issues rarely end up with positive outcomes. RIP and condolences to his family and friends.

Very true. The human body can only handle so much.

Hendrix gagged on his own vomit (pulmonary aspiration) and if Perry was on something and passed out he could have done something similiar. I inhaled water swimming 100 fly once and had lung spasms and such. If you're unconscious that sort of situation would be off the hook

He showed no signs of drugs in his system. Take it for what you wish. Most likely a heart attack since 54 is a danger age … his physical health sucked… hot tubs and jacuzzi’s can be harmful. The guy looked terrible some weeks ago.RIP

What does “He showed no signs of drugs in his system” mean? What signs would a dead guy at the bottom of a jacuzzi exhibit?

It means exactly that . No drugs found in his system. This idiot millionaire at some point loved his booze and drugs for years and he already had multiple medical issues . You aren’t very bright if you don’t see that. The guy more than likely had his heart attack as most suspect. In males your 50’s are a dangerous time for early death.

My. Best guess was a cardiac event in the jacuzzi that resulted in drowning
He had just played a couple of hours of pickle ball, and, after all the years of abusing his body, he had the cardiac event

Where have you seen that? Everything I’ve read says autopsy and toxicology results are pending.

Would have been better and safer to take swim in a pool which I’m sure was available to him. The guy ‘s heart stopped for 5 minutes in Switzerland while taking hydrocodone the night before a back surgery. Freaking brilliant move. They gave him propolol for anesthesia and presto the mixture nearly killed this guy. Sadly Matthew Perry paid a big price with his death.

The report was out earlier tonite… told the entire story of his reason for quitting the filming with Meryl Streep and Di Caprio. Another wasted life which didn’t have to be.

Sounds as though you want him to show signs of opioids and drugs in his system.The man had severe addictive behavior. Druggies / Alkies never take responsibility until it’s usually too late.

Probably the same super sleuth that said there was no reason to check Tiger for impairment when he launched his car off the road, was incoherent at times, then thought he was in Florida.

Based on his drug abuse history, can't exclude an overdose.

There is absolutely no way that they've completed, reviewed and published blood toxicology testing within a few hours after his death, as this usually takes weeks - you're talking out of your *** again. And no reports on the old internet are saying anything about having toxicology/drug testing results yet. Meaning we have no idea, yet, of the proximate cause of death.
