The results of Matthew Perry’s initial post-mortem report are “inconclusive”, as tributes continue to pour in for the Friends actor, who died suddenly at his Los Angeles home on Saturday (28 October).
The American-Canadian star, best known for his portrayal of sarcastic joker Chandler Bing in Friends, died in an apparent drowning in his hot tub. A 911 call captured a small portion of the police response.
In the wake of his death, heartbroken fans and Perry’s Hollywood colleagues alike have come together to honour his life and legacy – praising his comic genius, kindess, and resilience in the face of great personal upheaval.
As of Monday (30 October), the actor’s cause of death remains unclear amid “inconclusive” post-mortem results, with further investigations underway.
After Perry’s death, his family released a statement to People, saying: “Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend. You all meant so much to him and we appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love.”
The five other core Friends stars – Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer – shared a joint statement on Monday, saying they were “utterly devastated”.
