NYT has two stories about the news in their front page.

His parents are still alive. So sad for them.

That or cardiac related.

But what caused the cardiac issue? A lifetime of addiction. Sad.

The way hot tubs mess with your circulatory system could impact a person with cardiac issues.

There’s an obituary:

I came here to say this too! Seems really odd they wouldn’t have verified and reported it by now.

He had a really sad life. I am sure he wished he had not been an addict. I am so sad about this.

Could this BE any sadder?

He was my favorite friend. It’s sad that his life was so hard when he brought joy to so many.

If the assistant came back and found him (submerged? And unresponsive), why would the 911 call have specified “cardiac arrest”?

How would the assistant have know it was cardiac arrest if MP had already drowned?

Very sad to read this news.

I am the same age as Matthew Perry and always enjoyed watching him on Friends.

I read his book last year and was genuinely shocked at how much pain he has endured in his struggle with addiction.

It is sad to say, but he might be more at peace now, as he felt so much pain in his daily life. I do not think that he had much if any enjoyment in life.

Dang there was a post on here I saw yesterday about him and his instagram posts and someone had a bad premonition about it. May he rest peacefully

Your post was the first thing I thought of immediately after I heard the news.
